Hi,

I noticed a strange behaviour while importing certificates generated
with openssl 0.9.5 into MS IE4.

The context : inside a community of users (let's think of it as an
Intranet), we use a self-signed CA. This CA signed my CA. With this CA,
I generate users certificates. I use the following oppenssl command to
export them to the end users :

openssl pkcs12 -chain -export -in newcerts/$serial.pem \
    -inkey private/$serial.pem  -name "$user"  -out "$user.p12" \
    -caname $mycaname

The certificates can be imported into Netscape 4.x and MS IE5, but not
into MS IE4.

If I import the certificate into Netscape and reexport it, the resulting
certificate can be imported in MS IE4.

So what does Netscape's export that "openssl pkcs12 -export" doesn't ?
