The error that I get is below OPENSSL_Uplink(100EC020,08): no OPENSSL_Applink
I am using the "privkey.pem" with the passphrase.

It works fine for me on both Windows and Linux. What do you mean 'throws'? What exactly is the error message or code, or other display, etc? If your problem is specifically decrypting and not just reading or decoding -- e.g. if you don't have the passphrase -- your #2 created an unencrypted (cleartext) privatekey in SERVER.key; you could use that. A cleartext private key is generally a security risk, but if your goal is to decrypt (data on) secure connections then apparently you don't care about their security. > Is there any solution for the same ? Figure out what your program is doing wrong and correct it. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
