Stephen, Thanks for the reply. We were kind of hit over the head with this, as it had been working fine for quite a while with no problems and suddenly blew up on us.
Both the openssl application and the 2 dll's are the official 0.9.7 release. I searched the machine and these are the only versions on the machine. I have tried this on several machines also, just to eliminate any concern that it is my machine. I also tried a few of the recent snapshot stable builds and they exhibit the same problem. I have not backed up and tried a 0.9.6 build yet. The exact command that I ran was: "openssl req -config openssl.cnf -new -x509 -days 12784 -sha1 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout CA\private\cakey.pem -out CA\certs\cacert.pem -passin file:CA\pass\ca_pp -passout file:CA\pass\caout_pp" Where ca_pp and caout_pp are both simple text files with a single line containing a passphrase. Here is the output from my DOS windows: C:\uap8245\tools\ca>openssl req -config openssl.cnf -new -x509 -days 12784 -sha1 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout CA\private\cakey.pem -out CA\certs\cacert.pem -passin file:CA\pass\ca_pp -passout file:CA\pass\caout_pp Using configuration from openssl.cnf Loading 'screen' into random state - done Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key .......++++++ .......................++++++ writing new private key to 'CA\private\cakey.pem' ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request.

I am running Windows XP, SP1 with all the updates. Let me know if you want me to try building something else, or troubleshooting at all. I have a fair amount of experience with OpenSSL, I actually integrated it into our company's wireless access point. I'm not quite as familiar with the openssl application though, so I haven't started to try debugging it much more yet. Thanks.

That is is the openssl utility picking up a different version of the DLLs? You say 'openssl req': what was the precise command you ran? That is, options etc. What did you use to compile OpenSSL? If VC++ did you add any service packs or the processor add on? What version of Windows is this?
