Question:

Can not access SSL certificae file (.cer)

Jan 17 '13 at 12:14

I am having a problem loading a .cer file that contains the SSL certificate for my web site. I think that the issue is windows security not allowing access to the file. I have tried to access the file from a network share and local drive.

To cross validate I have tried to open the file with CKFileAccess. I even copied the file name from file explorer to make sure there are no typos on my part.

Thanks

FileAccess:

'ASP Classic
Set oFA = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.FileAccess")

Response.Write oFA.ReadEntireTextFile ("C:ecerts_insurancevisions_com.cer", "UTF-8")
Response.Write oFA.LastErrorHTML
Response.End

The Error:

ckCert

Set oCert = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Cert")
Response.Write oCert.LoadFromFile("C:ecerts_insurancevisions_com.cer")

Your code is running on the web server. Is the screen capture (above) a picture of the files on the web server, or a picture of the files on the client-side computer where the browser is running?
