I need to generate public and private keys with OpenSSL. I tried to do it with the following tutorial: http://aionskia.com/boostasio.html, using the example that comes with Windows boost but it did not work. With the keys coming at the example works correctly. Could help generate these keys? (Must run on Windows and Linux) Thx, Mario

I'll bite -- where specifically is it failing for you? Key-generation via OpenSSL? Or using the generated keys from within boost? Note that I don't have direct experience with the asio library in boost yet, but I have a reasonable working experience with OpenSSL and OpenSSH. Reading through the page, the only place that I can see a problem is creating a symlink to the public key. Running "openssl x509 -hash -fingerprint -noout -in client-public.pem" will print out something like this: 87ce5d98 SHA1 Fingerprint=99:37:E4:29:FE:C4:18:FF:B0:67:1C:63:85:59:13:1A:87:C6:C7:F7 That first line is that has, so you need to replace "hash" in the instructions with whatever that value is, I think: ln -s client-public.pem 87ce5d98.0 (rather than "ln -s client-public.pem hash.0", which won't give the expected results). Or maybe you were already doing this, and are having problems with boost? Cheers Oliver

Thank you for answer me, but I found the problem. My problem it was that I use Linux as server and Windows VirtualBox machine, If i use Windows in a physical machine work fine. I think there is a problem with NAT network, but I do not sure. Now I have another problem, maybe you can help: How can I generate a server password for several machine?..I am not familiar with OpenSSL server... Can you give me a clue? Thank you... Salu2..
