Import OpenSSL Certificate With Private Key Into Sql Server 2005 Express Edtion

hey,

i have a problem, to import a self signed openssl certificate into the sql server 2005.

my final idea is to get encrypted columns from the database over an jdbc connection in a java client.

when i use a certificate generated by the sql server 2005, i can encryt columns of a table. then i catch the

the result in my java client. but in java, i need a keystore with the private key of the certificate.

ok. i have export the the certificate and the private key of the sql server 2005.

problem: in a keystore i can only import the certificate (signed public key) but not the private key.

my new idea is to import an openssl certificate or an certificate generated by the keytool (java) into the

sql server 2005 and encypt the data with the imported certificate. Problem: The SQL Server give me an

Exception: (Sorry i drag & drop the exception, is written in german)

Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

Die Datei für das Zertifikat, den asymmetrischen Schlüssel oder den privaten Schlüssel ist nicht vorhanden oder weist ein ungültiges Format auf.

My Import Statement is:



CREATE CERTIFICATE InsuranceCertOpenSSL

FROM

FILE = 'E:masterkeysinsuranceservice_tomcat_apr_x509_certificate_with_cygwin_openssl_20060630insuranceservice_tomcat_x509_certificate_with_openssl.crt'

WITH PRIVATE KEY (

FILE = 'E:masterkeysinsuranceservice_tomcat_apr_x509_certificate_with_cygwin_openssl_20060630insuranceservice_tomcat_x509_certificate_with_openssl_private.key',

DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'testit2_',

ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'testit2_'

)

I use password encryption, and not the internal master key (or service master key)

Hope for help :)
