Error: (1, 'cannot read key') #342

Description

@danielmendez14

Hi! I have a problem, when I do this:

key = xmlsec.Key.from_file(p12_path, xmlsec.constants.KeyDataFormatPkcs12, password=pass)

The file .p12 I can extract the private key and certificate whit this:

private_key, certificate, additional_certs = pkcs12.load_key_and_certificates(p12_data, clave.encode("utf-8"))
print("🔐 Private key:", private_key)

And then it print: <cryptography.hazmat.bindings._rust.openssl.rsa.RSAPrivateKey object at 0x73e07a4763d0>

Then, the path is fine, and the file also. What do I am doing wrong? Help, thanks

    I can confirm this error is happening.

    Using the same xmlsec.Key.from_file code to load a p12 key works for python-xmlsec==1.3.14 and xmlsec==1.3.6 (using Alpine linux 3.20), but it does not work for python-xmlsec==1.3.15 and xmlsec==1.3.7 (using Alpine linux 3.21).

    Getting a Error: (1, 'cannot read key') error message.

    Not sure how to determine if this is an issue with python-xmlsec or xmlsec itself, but happy to help if pointed in the right direction.

    Edit: xmlsec error seems to come from this line
