issue/feature request - Version 2.6.0 invalid password during certificate import on other devices

Open ryder-hook opened this issue 2 weeks ago • 6 comments

Hello,

Thanks for this nice software! I renewed a certificate using version 2.6.0 end exported it as PKCS #12 (both variants). It was a certificate for a network gateway. I wanted to import the certificate there. Unfortunately this didn't work, I always got the error message "invalid password". I then searched the Internet for a solution, where I found the information to use the export with the -legacy parameter when using openssl. I assume that the appliance cannot handle modern algorithms. I then imported the certificate into the old version 2.4.0 of XCA and exported it again. The import into the appliance then worked.

So there is probably no error with XCA (hence the imprecise subject), but perhaps an option for the export could be implemented to avoid such problems in the future.

Wishes Thorsten
