the callback function is not called by PEM_read_PrivateKey

[jackz...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I encountered a problem with PEM_read_PrivateKey that did not call the password callback function I passed into.
the pseudo code is like this:

static int pass_cb(char* buf, int size, int rwflag, void* u){
int len = strlen((const char*)u);
memcpy(buf, u, len);
return len;
}


EVP_PKEY pkey = PEM_read_PrivateKey(fp, NULL, pass_cb, "password");

the code above works if no password set in the private key pem file. But when I set the password it fails to read and return NULL. What I confuse is the callback function is never called.

How can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

The way of generating the private key pem file is:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out XXXX 2048

No one replies but I resolve this problem.

The reason that callback function does not work is that I did not call to load the algorithm. After I added to call OpenSSL_add_all_algorithm function, the callback function was called.

I found that the answer always in the source code of openssl.
