I am adding the gpgcom tag as this causes support problems because we do not really know if it is an invalid object with the correct passphrase or if just the passphrase is incorrect.

This looks like a different but not too uncommon problem. For T6169 we need to get a PKCS#12 file to be able to replicate the problems - obviously that PKCS#12 should hold only test keys/certs.

Real Passphrase is "test"

berta-enc.p123 KBDownload

With GPGME test runner and a random password:

./run-import --cms ~/dev/main/div/testzertifikate/berta-enc.p12
reading file `/home/aheinecke/dev/main/div/testzertifikate/berta-enc.p12'
run-import: file /home/aheinecke/dev/main/src/gpgme/tests/run-import.c line 159: <GpgSM> Invalid object

I see what I can do

• werner added a project: gnupg24.Dec 13 2022, 11:21 AM
• ebo closed this task as Resolved.Sep 18 2023, 2:23 PM
• ebo moved this task from Restricted Project Column to Restricted Project Column on the Restricted Project board.
• ebo added a subscriber: • ebo.

With VS-Desktop-3.2.0.0-beta214 and Gpg4win-4.2.1-beta31 the error is "Bad Passphrase" in this case.
I do not see a reason why this ticket is still open.
The already resolved Kleopatra Task T5713 is probably a duplicate of this one.

• ebo moved this task from Backlog to QA on the gnupg24 board.Sep 18 2023, 2:42 PM

• ebo edited projects, added gnupg24 (gnupg-2.4.3); removed gnupg24.
