Help with SSL 8152 SEC_ERROR_INVALID_KEY Intermittent Error (first post please be kind!)

[Craig Henry <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is my first post to this list so please be kind!

Environment - Linux Centos

SSL - 1.0.2k19-el7

Connection - CURL (via PHP) with public / private key auth + http basic auth

We're having an issue where we are seeing intermittent behavior connecting to a 3rd party of the key being rejected with a 8152 error - "The key does not support the requested operation". Other times it works OK.

We have another user who is using this 3rd party and same connection type but not reported this issue.

Has anyone got any clue as to what might be causing this type of intermittent connection issue ?

The CURL logs are below but altered for privacy reasons.

Thanks

-Craig
