[xmlsec] Problems load private key

[Aleksey Sanin]

I think I understand you correctly. The problem is that there is now 
"standard" way
of converting the passphrase user types in from the keyboard into the 
secret key for
RC4, DES3, etc. This conversion is application specific and if you do 
this in different
way in different places nothing will work (this was the reason for the 
"how" question).
Please take a look at the openssl.exe sources (apps/*) to find out how 
the openssl
does this conversion.
