Re: Problem with SSL Netscape: ...no common encryption algorithm...??

Hi The browsers send a prioritised list of ciphers to the server for selection, strong first, followed by the weaker ones. The server selects the first cipher that matches. So the server should typically select the strongest possible common cipher. :) Amit. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Steve,

Hi, Sure the browser exports all export ciphers in the client_hello. But only if they have been enabled in the browser. It would be an empty list if only strong(non-exportable) ciphers were enabled and others (exportable) were disabled in the browser. And I think that is the scenario vijay is hav

"expecting an asn1 sequence" error - SOLVED :)

2000-02-17 Thread Sergio Salvi
Thanks to Dr Stephen, the solution was convert the certificate file to PEM format (it was in PCKS#7): First change the "BEGIN CERTIFICATE" and "END CERTIFICATE" lines to "BEGIN PKCS7"/"END PKCS7" and then run "openssl pkcs7 -in server.gid -out certs.pem -print_certs". []s, Sergio Salvi.

I got a similar error once and it apparently related to the format of the key/cert file I had downloaded in win/dos, and it was saved as one big lineI edited it to add the newlines, and then it worked fine. Jim Warren Connecting America [EMAIL

Here's what I've accomplished so far.. I've set up a CA, fairly easy and standard. I've gotten the CA's cert into the cisco router for use for known-CA verification. I've gotten the router to make a certificate signing request, but it's making the request in a PKCS7 format. But since I'm les
