"openssl.exe has stopped working. "

[Kushner, Rick]

When I run these two commands, the program prompts me for my password twice, and then I get a popup which says, “openssl.exe has stopped working… A problem caused the program to stop working…” (I am using Windows 7)

 

C:\OpenSSL> openssl pkcs12 -export -out cff_auth.pfx -name "HRB Web Service" -inkey CFF_auth.key -in CFF_auth.pem

 

C:\OpenSSL> openssl pkcs12 -export -out cff_soap.pfx -name "HRB SOAP Web Service" -inkey cff_soap.key -in CFF_soap.pem

 

After I get the error, the .pfx files are still created, but I think they might be corrupted because they cause a run time, “CryptographicException was unhandled” dialog, with an

“Unspecified error” in my C# program. See code below.

 

I don’t know if, or how, I might need to install OpenSSL. I just unzipped it and I running it in the directory where I unzipped it with my .pem’s and .key’s in that same directory.

            UsernameToken usernameToken = new UsernameToken("user@org"," ");

            proxy.RequestSoapContext.Security.Tokens.Add(usernameToken);

            proxy.ClientCertificates.Add(mutualCert);
