RE: Error Setting Trusted anchors in Linux

All,

I would like to clarify my previous posting concerning asn-stringtype.cpp. The changes found in the attached file are not yet posted to our website. They should be available on the web site early next week in eSNACC patch 1.7.2.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,

It appears that this problem was already fixed but not in our eSNACC 1.7 baseline. There is a problem with encoding/decoding certs with BmpStrings on Unix platforms. I fixed the version of asn-stringtype.cpp that is found in the eSNACC 1.7.1 patch on our website. You can place this file in the SNACC/c++-lib/src directory and then rerun “make” followed by “make install” in the SNACC directory. Let me know if you still continue to have problems.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

I am into a problem of setting trusted anchors on Linux platform,

I have attached the test certificates, when I call CM_SetTrustedCerts on Win32 platform with the very certificates I get all the path construction fine but when I call this on SUSE Linux8.2 gcc 3.2 it returns 9 which stands for some ASN.1 error when I call CMU_GetErrorString(err); more over much details about error is not there ErrorInfo is empty.

Attached are the certificates.
