RE: OpenSSL, IIS, and OFX Keys

2000-11-27 Thread Tipton, Michael

Steve,

Oops, should have mentioned that up front. WinNT 4.0 using CygWin and
ActivePerl. Looks like ActivePerl (for win) doesn't support the symlink
function. Since it looked like it was just trying to create symbolic links I
commented it out. But the compile still fails. It's not fresh in my mind but
I think it fails when it starts trying to create/move files into the
usr/local/ssl dirs. That directory doesn't get created. It may be part of
the symlink function or something else, haven't had time to look. 

Thank you,

Odd, what OS are you using?

RE: OpenSSL, IIS, and OFX Keys

2000-11-24 Thread Tipton, Michael

Thinking about this some more, is there a command line switch to make
openssl not perform validation and write the outfile anyway. If what is
failing is what I think that would get me past it..

openssl rsa -inform NET -in keybackup.bin -out key.pem

I am using OpenSLL to extract the private keys from my IIS Key Backup files.
I am able to accomplish this fine except for certain servers we have. These
servers keys/certs are marked as OFX (Financial Exchange). These are a
special type of key/cert that you have to specificly request from Verisign ,
etc.. When I try to extract from these files I am getting the same error
that I get if I use a wrong password.

unable to load key
207:error:0D08C007:asn1 encoding routines:D2I_NETSCAPE_PKEY:expecting an
asn1 se
quence:n_pkey.c:311:address=167888280 offset=0

error:n_pkey
.c:2450:address=167873496 offset=17

I am guessing that there is a string that marks the type of key/cert and
openssl is not recognizing the code for OFX when it unencrypts / validates
the file. It checks the info and does not find an expected string so thinks
the passowrd/unencrypt is bad.. This is pure speculation on my part.

Does anyone have any idea if this is what is going on, and more importantly
a way to fix / workaround it?

Try using the -sgckey option in OpenSSL 0.9.6
