xml.CryptoKey.loadPEM

Loads an asymmetric DSA key, an asymmetric RSA key, or Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file in PEM format.

Syntax

loadPEM(
   filename STRING )
  1. filename defines the file name or an entry in the FGLPROFILE file.

Usage

If the DSA or RSA private key or Diffie-Hellman parameters are protected with a password, the recommended way is to unprotect it with the openssl tool and to put the key file on a restricted file system. However, you can use a script or the fglpass agent to provide the password to the application.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the status variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the sqlca.sqlerrm register. See Error handling in GWS calls (status).
