Invalid PEM Header?

Post by csdev » Fri 24 Oct 2008 14:32

Hi, I'm currently trying to use MySqlConnection (in MyDirect .NET 3.50.13) to create a secure connection to a MySQL 5.1 server. I'm currently able to do the same thing with no problems using either the MySQL client or their C++ library, but when using MyDirect, I receive an exception citing an 'Invalid PEM header.'

The contents of the stack trace are as follows:

Code: Select all

I used OpenSSL to generate the files (server and clients share the same CA, but not certificates or common names). Does anyone know why MyDirect wouldn't like certain PEM-encoded certificates and keys?

We cannot reproduce this problem with the *.PEM files you have sent us.

Please provide us with the settings you are using:
1) the SslOptions.CACert, SslOptions.Cert, SslOptions.Key properties of the MySqlConnection object in your code;
2) the values of the following MySQL server variables: 'ssl-ca','ssl-cert' and 'ssl-key'.

Please refer to http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql/docs/ , section "Using MyDirect .NET", part "Using Secure Connections".
