Hello

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I'm guessing I shouldn't upload the original private key file here so will explaining the commands that I used to create the key file suffice or do I need to create a separate file in order to test. I'm listing the commands first as I am starting to wonder if I have done something wrong in the creation of the certificate.

On Linux I ran the following command.

openssl genrsa -des3 -out private_key.pem 2048

I selected a passphrase and this is the same string that goes into the code above in the $password string.

I then created the self signed certificate with the next command.

openssl req -new -x509 -key private_key.pem -out private_cert.pem -days 9125

At this point I entered details for the certificate DN information.

Finally, I created the public certificate from the private certificate.

openssl x509 -inform PEM -in private_cert.pem -outform DER -out public.cer

The resultant public.cer certificate is what we passed to the third party and they are using this file as the basis of the encryption for teh SAML token that is sent to us.

If the above looks to be correct then I'll create a test private key and look to add the value to the code.

Thanks again.
