Correct cast is <const unsigned char*>, but your problem probably is in str content, not asn1 der format. Is your source certificate in der format?

I think it is likely because of reinterpret_cast ... am I wrong? I cannot change the constructor's signature. ( cannot make certificate(unsigned const char *str, size_t clen ) . Is there another way to convert from const char *str to unsigned const char * ? I often meet this kind fo issue ( converting from const char *str to unsigned const char * u_str ) Thanks for your help.
