Hi,

the output is this:

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin>openssl.exe asn1parse -i -in
..\config\SSL_HUG1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\l1139218.vt-security.de.user.crt
Error: offset too large

Would it be OK if I send the crt file to only your mail adress? I don't feel
save by posting it to the mailing list ;-)?


I ran into the "offset too large" problem myself with my own certs as well. It
turns out the 'asn1parse' util only likes PEM blobs, i.e. the parts starting
with --BEGIN CERTIFICATE--
asn1parse will expect PEM by default but is perfectly capable of processing raw
DER too. Just use the "-inform DER" option.


100% true but that is not what I was referring to; my certs usually look like this:

Certificate:
    Data:
        Version: 3 (0x2)
        Serial Number: 5338 (0x14da)
        Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
[...]
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEmjCCA4KgAwIBAgICFNowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAwUjELMAkGA1UEBhMCTkwx


it's that part *before* the --BEGIN CERTIFICATE--  on which the asn1parse command chokes. You can feed it either a DER file or a PEM blob - but not a certificate file with the certificate info listed in it.
