Thank you so much for your quick response.

The server.key generation algorithm we used is RSA-sha1. I am not sure where to
find/change
algorithm used for signature for xmlsec utility.

I tried the new format and it still not working. Also, I am not sure if rename
for server is required or not.

bash-2.05$ xmlsec sign --privkey:server ./server.key xml.txt
xmlSecKeysMngrGetKey (keys.c:451): error 17: key not found :
xmlSecSignedInfoRead (xmldsig.c:1385): error 17: key not found :
xmlSecSignatureRead (xmldsig.c:1124): error 2: xmlsec operation failed :
xmlSecS
ignedInfoRead - -1
xmlSecDSigGenerate (xmldsig.c:792): error 2: xmlsec operation failed :
xmlSecSig
natureRead - -1
Error: xmlSecDSigGenerate() failed
Error: operation failed
bash-2.05$

Thanks,

Wayne
