Hi,

I have been trying to read the keys generated by "openssl genrsa ..." and "openssl rsa -pubout ..." commands.

I successfully (according to the return code) read the private key with

if (in = BIO_new_file("rsakey.pem", "r")) {
        int ok;
        printf ("Created private BIO\n");
        ok = (PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey(in, &rsa, NULL, NULL) != NULL);
        printf ("ok = %s\n", (ok != 0) ? "true":"false");
        BIO_free(in);
}

but the similar code using PEM_read_bio_RSAPublicKey() doesn't want to work.


Use PEM_read_bio_RSA_PUBKEY() instead.

Steve.

Thanks that seemed to work.
But the "PEM_write_RSAPublicKey(stdout, rsa);" call doesn't output the same data as what is in the key file. So did it get read properly?
