Hi,
I got mysself a Thawte Freemail certificate. First, I downloaded it hitting the "fetch" button in __Firefox__. Firefox is keeping the keys and certificate in some PKCS#11 encrypted form. I used the "Backup" feature to obtain a *.p12 file. From this point on I can convert it using OpenSSL to PEM or anything else and I seem to understand what I do. But when I visit the Thawte site using __Lynx__ and hit the "fetch" button there, I get a file that I cannot find out of what type it is. Is there an OpenSSL tool to determine a files type? I'm suspicious that it is some *.p7X format as I can at least bring it to a PEM form entering openssl pkcs7 -in downloaded_file -inform der The command -print_certs yields nothing. I try to obtain further information using the Ruby OpenSSL suite. When I ask to decrypt the file I get an error "wrong content type". As I already got an .p12 key suite and successfully use it to encrypt and sign mails, the research about what is going on here is of no practical use for me. Anyway I would like to understand what kind of file I'm dealing with. Could anyone give me a hint where to look at next?
