Good that you figured it out!

xmlSecKeyDataTypeSession is a key type, not the certificate type. Not
sure how this applies to certificates.

And after you load certificate into keys manager it will stay there
forever.

I'm using OpenSSL.  After working on this all day I finally figured out
where I was going wrong, though. Since the certificates were base64, and
DER can be base64, I thought I could just load the base64 into the keys
manager. Apparently, though, I had to decode the base64 first and then
supply the decoded string to the keys manager as a DER-format certificate.

Sorry to have taken up your time - but hopefully other people will read
this and learn from my mistake.

I do have another question. How long will a certificate of type
xmlSecKeyDataTypeSession be kept by the keys manager? How does it decide
when a session has ended?
