[imp] s/mime key question

[Bob Bernstein]

I am a customer of a mail system that uses IMP (4.0-cvs). I have a 
thawte free email cert that I've used sucessfully with other MUA's, such 
as Evolution2, and Thunderbird.

I can't get the key to work in IMP. I've used 'openssl pkcs12' to export 
the .p12 cert -- obtained when I exported the thawte key from my browser 
-- into a .pem text format.

The above-named mailers only ask for one file to be imported in order to 
set up s/mime signing and encrypting. But IMP asks for two, public and 
private keys. I cannot discover the manner in which my one .pem file 
should be used in order to produce these two keys requested by IMP.

I've tried just importing the whole .pem file for each, public and 
private key wanted by IMP. I've tried using openssl to export only 
client, and only ca, certs and then used those. I've tried hand trimming 
the .pem file to extract private and public parts. Nothing seems to work 
when I go to enter my passphrase, which is always found to be "invalid."

Any help would be appreciated!


Best regards,
