Problem with certificate file: Length is too big

[Naresh Bhatia]

Kiran,

Thanks for your response. None of the possibilities you mention exist - I have
double checked that. What I have been able to determine is that 512 bit keys give
this problem whereas 1024 bit keys don't! Doe that give you any more clues?

Thanks.
Naresh

Convert that DER formatted key to BASE64 encoded and try again.

Open the key with a simple text editor .. make sure there are no formatting
issues.
