Hi, I have a client-server application that uses Openssl.  It works properly when, on 
the server side, I use the 512-bit certificate & key copied from .../apps/server.pem 
(the certificate ends with "+AQ==" and the private key ends with "3aU=").

However, when I create a self-generated cert, the client  fails with the error, 
"...SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_client.c".  My client uses 
"SSL_get_peer_certificate(ssl)" to access the server cert.

I tried using many different key/cert generation techniques, such as those suggested 
by: S. Henson (CA.pl), [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

I am using the default openssl.cnf file, but I do not see anything in the file about 
protocol selection.  How can I create a cert/key pair like the one in "server.pem", 
that works?

Thanks for your help,
Rodger
