Hello,
As far as I can see, the usage of the KEYGEN tag is basically the same in NS6 as it was in NS4.x .
I get a string like the SPKAC field example below, without any line separators.
The problem is that I do not want to pass this to OpenSsl and I do not want to request a certificate to a Netscape Certificate server.
I have to use Microsoft's certificate services server, which I do by calling this method CCertRequest.Submit which expects just a string like the SPKAC field, but somehow there must be something wrong as it is not accepted in this format.
This method CCertRequest.Submit is decribed in Microsoft's MSDN ed. April 2001 and they indeed support Netscape formats, so if anyone has been issueing Netscape certificate requests to Microsoft certificate services servers, I would very much appreciate to hear about it.
(Thanks for the reply, Michael !)

Is Netscape 6 different with <keygen> from Netscape 4.x?

Did you write a SPKAC file?

The SPKAC field should not contain any line separators (for
OpenSSL). Don't know about Netscape's Certificate Server though.
Ciao, Michael.
