Dear Group:
Thanks to previous hints about SSH private key formats,
I was able to isolate the code that fails when trying to parse
PKCS encoded RSA keys. (i.e. Private keys with a
passphrase.)
The failure occurs in libssh2_base64_parse() when it
is called by _libssh2_pem_parse(). Previous E-Mail
indicates the problem is PKCS encoded private RSA keys,
which the current code cannot handle.
(i.e. I am using version 1.2.6)
My application needs to be able to handle
at least RSA 1 private keys, and preferably
RSA 2 private keys.
Can the Libssh2 code handle unencrypted
RSA 1 or 2 keys ? If not, how can I
circumvent the problem enough for interoperability
with standard Linux servers ? Also, when will
the problem be fixed ?
Note that using Openssl is not an option !
Best Regards,
Paul R.
