How to send private key  
by Mathew
posted on 2005/03/13

Hi !

We have to send certificate, private key, root certifcate to auithenticate and create a socket with our server.

When we tried through openssl it works. We have send certifcate.pem, privatekey.pem, CAroot.pem.

Now in mentalis, we have options only for certificate.pem and CAroot.pem

How do i send privatekey.pem. Because of this my connection is reset everytime.

Thanks in advance

regards,

Mathew

You should _never_ give out your private key to authenticate yourself!!
Why does the remote server need your private key?

Yes that is soo true, If we gave out our private key, then whats the whole point of the SSL.?
