Hi all, For a current project I need to extract the subject part of a base64 encoded certificate. My module gets the certificate directly as a base64 encoded string (containing -----BEGIN .... END CERTIFICATE -----, not the certificate file itself. I've tried the standard libraries of MS (wincrypt.h), WSE 2.0 and openSSL (but because of lack of documentation openSSL is a pain in the ass) but none of these can create some kind of x509 certificate object or decrypt the certificate string. I also tried simply decoding the base64 string to a normals string but this just gives me nonsense. Anybody has any hints? Thanks Steven override
