Hello!
My client company has a CA based on "UNICert" from an Irish software
company "Baltimore". I recently submitted a PEM certificate
request to this program, and received a PEM output. So far,
so good.
But when I tried to get the CA's certificate in PEM format,
the program gave me an empty file (0 bytes!!). This seems to
be a bug on their part, but they do not to have a patch to
this problem on their web pages.
However, I still need my PEM certificate, so we tried
to convert the DER CA certificate. But to no avail: the DER
certificate is encoded in binary format, and SSLeay complains:
Under U-Nix:
$ ssleay x509 -in ETrustCA.der -outform PEM -out ETrustCA.pem
unable to load certificate
22796:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:623
$ ls ETrustCA.*
ETrustCA.der
Under Doze:
A:\SSLeay>ssleay x509 -in etrustca.der -outform PEM -out etrustca.pem
unable to load certificate
4294560033:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:.\crypto\pem\p
em_lib.c:623
So I have two requests:
1. Baltimore, could you please help us to become a PEM-compatible
Certificate Authority?
2. SSLeay users, can you pinpoint me to a small program or code morsel which
could do the conversion I need?
The DER certificate in question is attached.
Muchos Gracias, and have a nice weekend!
