Hi, the output of ERR_print_errors prints a message I dont understand: 18171:error:0906B072:lib(9):func(107):reason(114):pem_lib.c:481: My private key is for testing my routine only though here it is: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,731DA7CE59042744 +IyLelmxFc08egtoHkIjRXyCYAYEYJJumHuotIjy5AWEhE8vtudTRfzbWrlALmDt jODDIo7AGPC6PE0DcBHruCno6/Rkvngokqr+2zjne1sllLqo/41SUaSEcKKByvt0 6gJTFCj+zbPLj+aRUb3C6ktXDyBRq1swYsfDgf8ooH4/eqZ3Fm1iHMbglZJPpkuV lC8Uip/7LUze6iAlJspQuA91d/H53oIbjz30KnYfBPWTALrEgqAU0kV/TYzhVowJ YA47ybuEtzOk+mq6g8Z791lKFk/LlNJ5hvN4sSJyVA4hv2gLYikrJwKcAmVUXVnR LJoz3CWDQapuA+3VGF76wOEULMUQ5NStGEEldWzF+D8vK/svRl996UMXCYdME/tH FyBXzGntkh9N7s9KSdP5Nb6Hpf/si9ivpAuMkwCfeoep/hN/2WEe2wuVTEbXy0Xm BCIWp6/6MMrZx3siMaifSYSaZGm68U/sMa118FTKTcdkSdPel4oW4w7zcowIfaYy dK/DB8p3Bk7nAIgTKSWbs3w8fdLNtmj88dt9RdZ+wPCZ+y510UEnssfMKNGAVpGU XfMR42dvAwqPgrxQl9DMbZk36Qnrx7/vaZ+3cUz2eApASdVJyV1HJEh7fbYt25/P 05TZiS649/5+GDpSF5bZwZO/u4ydSAI5EoreN9KmtMgDsnavnfjio55/WuWuEWH1 7xrCR88of0lHJyvb2fWDnHbxCwOLcgurmcMH/qcQFFk2VsXbmWWSTg2n+Pd2ADk1 rJAazSG24ax1CJZ+sIWsJEm8O0Cj2GyleqFKzMikcpoRbNkelMTT0Q== -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- this is a private key or am I wrong ?
