I am using OpenSLL to extract the private keys from my IIS Key Backup files.
I am able to accomplish this fine except for certain servers we have. These
servers keys/certs are marked as OFX (Financial Exchange). These are a
special type of key/cert that you have to specificly request from Verisign ,
etc.. When I try to extract from these files I am getting the same error
that I get if I use a wrong password.

unable to load key

.c:2450:address=167873496 offset=17

I am guessing that there is a string that marks the type of key/cert and
openssl is not recognizing the code for OFX when it unencrypts / validates
the file. It checks the info and does not find an expected string so thinks
the passowrd/unencrypt is bad.. This is pure speculation on my part.

Does anyone have any idea if this is what is going on, and more importantly
a way to fix / workaround it?
