They use that to decrypt the key and store it. Hi, this doesn't seem to be happening. Doesn't the client need a password to decrypt the private key or does the export create the private key in cleartext? I can use the key without ever giving a password in either Thunderbird or Outlook. > > Once the key is decrypted and stored internally the client will use > its own technique when deciding if and when to use a password to > protect the key. That would be fine but I'm not getting that far. I suspect I'm missing an option when I create the pkcs12 file with the private key or I did something else wrong. How do I find out what I did wrong in exporting the pkcs12 file? I'll be thankful for any suggestions where to look. Thanks again. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
