Thanks once again Steve.....
That did the trick.
I have a similar problem with the function:
RSA *d2i_Netscape_RSA(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length, int
(*cb)());
....but here the callback does not take any parameters, so how do
you supply the password to OpenSSL in the callback?
I can see that the callback really is being called, but all I can do
in it, is to return an integer value.
TIA
