Hello. I am attempting to generate a certificate to be used to secure imap traffic between clients and the server. I have followed the certificate authority's instructions and received a certificate.
The problem is that I generated the private key with the command: openssl genrsa -des3 -rand [randfiles] 1024 > keyfile.priv but the imap server software requires the private key to be unencrypted (I should not have used the -des3 option). when I attempt to decrypt the private key with the command: openssl des3 -in keyfile.priv -out keyfile.priv.dec -d -k [passwd] I get the error: bad magic number presumably because the string Salted__ does not appear in the file keyfile.priv. I have also used the option -nosalt with no luck. The error there is: 15739:error:0606506D:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal:wrong final block length:evp_enc.c:268: the top three lines of the file are: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,[16digit number] if that makes a difference. I am using openssl version 0.9.6g Aug 2002 Can anyone help me decrypt this file? I do not want to generate a new key since I have already paid for the certificate. Thank you for any assistance. - chris ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
