Dear Openssl, I have the following case: I am trying to sign a file with a private key from an CA. I converted the pfx file to a pem file using the following command openssl pkcs12 -in CustKeyIcBD001.pfx -out CustKeyIcBD001.pem -nodes After this I trying to sign a file using this key with the following command openssl cms -sign -in TestfileIN.txt -out TestfileSign.tmp -outform DER -binary -nodetach -md SHA1 ?signer CustKeyIcBD001.pem However I keep getting the message No signer certificate specified I have put all files in the same directory and don't see why this is going wrong. Can anybody help me out on this? Regards, Mark
