Description Rich Megginson 2010-07-14 13:02:02 EDT

Created attachment 431844 [details]
0001-Add-support-for-PKCS-8-encoded-private-keys.patch

These are PEM files which in ASCII begin with the header

BEGIN PRIVATE KEY

The code already supports PKCS#1 format BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY but the openssl req -x509 tool creates private keys with the BEGIN PRIVATE KEY format.

There is a second patch attached - with mock and the latest RHEL-6 bits, nss did not build because SEC_SkipTemplate is defined more than once.  Not sure why we don't see this problem with the regular RHEL-6 builds in brew, so I don't know if it is needed, but I've attached it anyway.
