HTTPS POST request using p7b certificate.

Posted by thierryk on 18-Jul-2018 10:05

Hi,

I'm trying to call a service that requires an SSL authentication. A pkcs7 format is expected by the web server.

Here is what i've done so far.

Step 1 :

  • I got a trusted client certificate (.p7b) and validated it against the web server. It went fine.

Step 2:

  • I converted the p7b certificate in order to register into the dlc/cert store. I tried PEM and DER. It went fine but i'm not sure what I should really generate regarding keyfiles. 

Step 3: 

  • I implemented the client side to do the POST request using OpenEdge.NET library. At execution I got error 9318. So it seems like the ssl checking went wrong.

My environment :

  • Openedge 11.7
  • No PASOE using in this case.

I'm a bit confuse about what is and what is not possible regarding OpenEdge environment and certificate format so I'm looking for a little help.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure about the PEM/DER stuff, but did you import the entire chain (ie. CA root & intermediate as well)?

Thank you for the reply.

I didn't think about importing the whole chain at first so that was worth the shot. Unfortunately the result is still the same at execution.

This might be because of the lack of support of client-side certs for ABL sockets.
