About a year ago, I posted to this mailing list looking for information debugging errors I had trying to make stunnel operate in OpenSSL's FIPS mode. I was able to do this with the help with the aid of Dr. Henson.
One of the suggestion he made to me was to convert my private keys into PKCS#8 format (see: http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.openssl.users/msg/64d3a0978a49cf4f). I am now revisiting this effort to make use the newest builds of OpenSSL and stunnel. Unfortunately, I have encountered a very puzzling issue trying to convert my private key files to PKCS#8 format. When I run the conversion command, OpenSSL crashes with an unhandled exception error. I am able to convert the key files with my original OpenSSL-fips build from last summer. However, compiling 0.9.7m without fips support enabled did not make a difference. I was able to convert the key files using a non-fips build made with MinGW, though I'd rather make use of Visual Studio. This is a rather nebulous error. I expect to have give more information before this issue can be solved. For reference, my development environment is as follows: Windows XP SP2 Visual Studio 2005 SP1 ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
