I have an encrypted/password-protected private key file in PEM format generated by Phaos' SSLava. My OpenSSL app can't read it - it crashes on Windows with an Access Violation during SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(...). Here is a stack: EVP_PKCS82PKEY + 28 bytes PEM_ASN1_read_bio + 1629 bytes PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey + 35 bytes SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file + 134 bytes The command 'openssl asn1parse -inform PEM -in TWkey.pem' (TWkey.pem is the key file that causes the crash). 0:d=0 hl=3 l= 252 cons: SEQUENCE 3:d=1 hl=2 l= 39 cons: SEQUENCE 5:d=2 hl=2 l= 10 prim: OBJECT :pbeWithSHA1And3-KeyTripleDES-CBC 17:d=2 hl=2 l= 25 cons: SEQUENCE 19:d=3 hl=2 l= 20 prim: OCTET STRING 41:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :64 44:d=1 hl=3 l= 208 prim: OCTET STRING Anybody know what's wrong and what I can do to fix it?
