Hi
I have recently been learning Qt, and am now working on a project that utilizes its SSL capabilities. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.8 on 64bit Kubuntu Fiesty, with Qt 4.4 compiled with SSL support. When I try reading a private key I created with the openssl command, the QSslKey object is always null. This is strange, because the self-signed certificate I created with the private key in question is read just fine. Below is the code I'm using to load the key.
Code:
QSslKey key(new QFile(filename), QSsl::Rsa);
where filename is a QString containing a filename. The key I'm using (for testing) is:
Code:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
The command I used to create the key:
Code:
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
I tried googling this, but couldn't seem to find anything. I'm not doing anything terribly complex in loading the key, so I'm guessing the problem's not that complicated, but I haven't worked a lot (as a programmer) with cryptography or ssl or qt before, so any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Syd
