Creating SIS for N70 - Problem

[EdenN70]

Finally worked out how to create a certificate after weeks of trying

finally made one and when creating the sis file it produced the following

CREATING THE SIS PACKAGE
Processing CruiseZone.pkg...
Created CruiseZone.sis
error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password readerror:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tagencryption error, Cannot load mykey.key.
FAILED while executing makesis.

FAILED !!. Read report given above

Any ideas on what im doing wrong?

[symbianyucca]

it says someting about "bad password ", so did you define password, and are you using it correctly.

sorry but im not no programmer or genius.... please speak simple i.e. instructions

much appreciated

[symbianyucca]

try removing the cerificate line from your pkg, check if it build ok, if not then try rememberring the password you set when you made the certificate and append it to the certificate line in your pkg file.

erm....erm..... AGGHGHH lol

youve utterly and complety lost me

I have installed this crap tool. It is a painful mess. Although it is described in the release notes how to make a certificate (the examples are trying to use certificates of their original authors, from their My Documents folder), you just do not need that: N70 is not a S60 3rd edition device thus you should select S60 2.8 in the Checkout/Advanced page.

Yep, same here. I found a thread that explained the makekey command line command and finally made a key and a cert. Then I get the password error right before everything completes almost normally.

error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password readerror:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tagencryption error, Cannot load mykey.key.

It made everything correctly but the sis!

Are they kidding with this software?!?
So slow...not a mention in any of the docs as how to make keys (maybe common knowledge to devel guys).....running in Java? and its this slow?

The irony is, the workflow and interface design is fine. sheesh.
If anyone can help with this error....tia.

I had the same error.

error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password readerror:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tagencryption error, Cannot load mykey.key.

What i did was recreating the .cer and the .key file without the option to use a password.

makekeys -cert -dname "CN=Symbian OU=Development OR=Symbian Ltd CO=GB" mykey.key mycert.cer

Just answer "n" when the following question is presented.

Warning: the private key should be encrypted with the -password option
Do you want to use a password (y/n)?

Use the mykey.key and mycert.cer to create the SIS file.

More info about makekeys.exe

Zayn - you're the man!
Thanks to your post finally installed .key and .cer (FINALLY!!!!!)
(Btw the weird thing is for some time I couldn't even get past the makesys line, even though I'm quite sure I stuck to the instructions!)

makekeys -cert -dname "CN=Symbian OU=Development OR=Symbian Ltd CO=GB" mykey.key mycert.cer

Just answer "n" when the following question is presented.

Warning: the private key should be encrypted with the -password option
Do you want to use a password (y/n)?

Use the mykey.key and mycert.cer to create the SIS file.

The italics above sorted out the following errors I had in similar to below

error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password readerror:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tagencryption error, Cannot load mykey.key.

Thanks again - now I have to blame you for impending late nights getting to grips with Theme Studio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you explain me how to create the keys and certificate without password. makekeys DEMANDS passphrase. It's doesn't suggest me to create the keys without password

[Hexxx]

Ahh! It shows the "no password" question only if the .key and .cer files does not exist.

guys i"m getting the same error can someone help me out

I had the same problem after the following:
-build for ARMV5 urel (all fine, certificate generated)
-build for ARMV5 udeb (signsis exited with with value = 1, cant sign)

Solution: use signsis manyally.
1) See the console output for the urel build (where the cert is generated), and find the lines beginning with "***Invoking signsis.exe....". From there you can obtain the password, prolly "DefaultPassword"
2) Sign the sis-file on the command line (DOS prompt):
signsis asdf.sis asdf.sisx cert-gen.cer key-gen.key DefaultPassword

Of course, this only works in the abovementioned case... hope this helps!

[ltomuta]

Have you noticed how old these posts are and the fact that your solution does not really apply to the problem described here (wrong platform version)?

[mikaellaine]

My solution helped for the abovementioned "bad password readerror"
Who cares if its an older thread, people still read it. 2007 isn't very old...
