[xmlsec] xmlsec1 sign problem with openssl 1.0.2j

Hello Aleksey,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
I compiled the code with the latest changes and I still have the same error.
The error appears only when RSA keys are used.
When I generated a DSA key and tried to sign everything worked fine.

See the new error output below:

../xmlsec1 sign --privkey-pem rsakey.pem --output signrsa.xml sign1-tmpl.xml 
func=xmlSecOpenSSLEvpSignatureExecute:file=evp_signatures.c:line=498:obj=rsa-sha1:subj=EVP_SignFinal:error=4:crypto library function failed:openssl error: 101101678: digital envelope routines: EVP_SignFinal wrong public key type

Error: signature failed 
Error: failed to sign file "sign1-tmpl.xml"


I cannot understand what the "wrong public key type" means. But when I generate a new RSA key with openssl and try that I still get the same error.


Regards,
Georgia

I modified the OpenSSL error reporting to print out more details (https://github.com/lsh123/xmlsec/pull/57). It's merged into master and this should help you with debugging.

Best,

Aleksey
