I am downloading a .pfx (PKCS12) file to a local file. I then use a System call to run a Java application I have written to convert that PKCS12 file into a pem (I essentially am just getting rid of the password protection). Upon finishing the system call, I then attempt to open this file with the OpenSSL::X509:: Certificate.new call. This produces the following error: OpenSSL::X509::CertificateError: not enough data Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:346:in `initialize' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:349:in `join' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:349:in `validateExportedCert' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:349:in `each' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:349:in `validateExportedCert' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:323:in `check_Export_WprivateKey' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:284:in `times' Y:/pki/../lib/pkistdlib.rb:284:in `check_Export_WprivateKey' Y:/pki/eval/pki_validation.rb:37:in `test_02_ExportKMO_validate' Y:/pki/../lib/testcase_impl.rb:26:in `run' The interesting part is this. I can stall the progress, with a gets command, and use the exact same code run from a different file, and read the exact same certificate file with no problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks in advance! Mbright Code: Ruby Ceritifcate Code: require 'openssl' file=File.open(out) cert=OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(file.read) if file && FileTest::file?(file) file.close() Java Code is cleaning up with System.exit(); ------=_Part_45040_6682120.1159825640834--
