[xmlsec] problems by xmlSecKeysMngrFindKey

The substring following the CN= will work. This is the Common Name sub-field
and is not the same as the Friendly Name sub-field which is entirely
optional.

 

The full DN with all sub-fields will also work. Again check what MS display
using the MS Cert Viewer.

 

As Wouter indicated the Friendly Name is an entirely different sub-field and
not (yet) supported. Please check what the MS Cert Viewer displays and
ensure you are consistent with that.

Serial Number is usually SN, Common Name CN, Country C... Check what the
certificate looks like in MS certificate store.

Hi,

 

My certificate subject look like this.

 

Serial Number = xxxxxx

N = Dummy

C = AT

 

How should look now the function call?

 

xmlSecKeyPtr key = xmlSecKeysMngrFindKey(mngr, (xmlChar *)"Serival number =
xxxxxx N = Dummy c = AT ", keyInfoCtx); 

 

This down't work!

Search by friendly name is not (yet) supported. You could try search by full
subject DN, or apply the patch posted in HYPERLINK
"http://www.aleksey.com/pipermail/xmlsec/2006/003560.html"http://www.aleksey
.com/pipermail/xmlsec/2006/003560.html and see whether you are able to
retrieve the certificate by friendly name.

Hi Wouter,

 

Yes I use this three Init Functions.

I don't get any error, "just" the result is always NULL.

The parm (name) in the FindKey Function is the friendly name of the cert, or
should it be something else.

As far as I know it is the same mechanism as used internally... Did you
initialize xmlsec lib properly (probably a redundant question, but you never
know):

xmlSecInit();
xmlSecCryptoAppInit(NULL);
xmlSecCryptoInit(); 

Also, do you get any error messages anywhere? Or the key is simply not
found?

I try to Find a Key but it always returns Null.

 

 

    xmlSecKeysMngrPtr mngr = xmlSecKeysMngrCreate();  
    xmlSecCryptoAppDefaultKeysMngrInit(mngr);

 

    /* locate and load key you want to use */
    xmlSecKeyInfoCtxPtr keyInfoCtx = xmlSecKeyInfoCtxCreate(mngr);
    xmlSecKeyPtr key = xmlSecKeysMngrFindKey(mngr, (xmlChar *)"dummy",
keyInfoCtx); 

 

 

I my computer exists a certificate with the name CN=dummy.

any ideas what went wrong?
