The key works if I use Putty, but using it in the application I get an error dialog box with: Connect - System error: Error parsing PEM ASN.1 structure: Error decoding. Error - System error: Error parsing PEM ASN.1 structure: Error decoding. Any ideas why it's doing that, and more importantly, how to make it not do that? cheers.  9/3/2007 6:36 PM    Jeff Dell 233 posts www.activeworx.com Re: Problem using publickeys  Please read the directions carefully. It is not exactly the same as using Putty, but uses Putty KeyGen. pay attention to the location, the key should be placed into the IDSPM application directory, and how the key is saved.

I know it's not the same as Putty, I was using that as an example of it not being a network issue or permissions issue. You use IP*Works SSH client libraries, I am aware of that. it's saved in the right place, or it would generate a "Can't find keyfile" error, would it not.  9/4/2007 2:26 AM    Jeff Dell 233 posts www.activeworx.com Re: Problem using publickeys  Did you follow the directions in the documentation? specifically step 2? it is important that you select 'Export OpenSSH Key' to save the key.
