Yes, that's basically what I was asking, thanks for clarifying. > AFAIK, Globus is consistent in its method of storing credentials, so > while that is not well defined, I believe it is invariant. Yes, I've examined the relevant Globus code (especially org.globus.gsi.CertUtil), and that seems to be the case. A slightly different, but related question: AFAICT from reading RFC2459/3280/5280 (they all say the same thing), an X.509 v3 certificate is specified to be DER-encoded. Is that your interpretation as well? Thanks, Tom > Tom Scavo wrote: >> In Globus deployments, is a PEM-encoded certificate *always* a base64 >> encoding of the DER-encoded certificate?
