Greets all,

This is a little bit aside from normal user discussion, but I've just about run out of 
other resources to try :)

I was perusing the PKCS12 code from the OpenSSL source, but having trouble finding an 
answer to my question, so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm attempting to do a little finagling with a Netscape-exported PKCS#12 message to 
extract the public/private keys, much like openssl/pkcs12 seems to do, except that I 
need to get my hands on the raw data of the key, so that hopefully I can repackage it 
in a different format.

However, the structure of Netscape's message is boggling me.  The AuthenticatedSafe 
sequence doesn't seem to conform to the PKCS#12 spec, with a bazillion one-byte octet 
strings with some longer ones included.  Obviously the key and certificate info is in 
here, but I'm having trouble seeing where.  Any advice on how I need to parse these 
out to yield meaningful data?

I'm still attempting to read through the PKCS12/asn1 code to see how OpenSSL is doing 
it, but not having tons of luck figuring out the logic chain.

Thanks for any advice!
