RE: Need help signing a certificate

Solved.

 

Coding problem. I was signing the certificate with the same public key that was in the certificate.

Surley this should not  give Seg fault.

 

I will look further.

Subject: Need help signing a certificate

Hi

I am generating a certificate from within my code. All appears to be in place when I call X509_sign.
I have a valid X509 Certificate structure and a valid private  Key in EVP_PKEY.

I am calling the function as follows.
X509_sign(pX509, pEVP_PKEY, EVP_sha1());

I am not sure if the message digest is done correctly. or if I can sign a X509 structure. (Does it have to be a X509_REQ?)/

In any event, I am getting a Segmentation violation error when I call sign. As I am fairly new to this, what could I have overlooked that would cause  such an error.

I have looked over whatever Google served me but up till now am none the wiser.

Any input appreciated
Hylton T
