Description From Joe Bester 2008-09-15 16:18:24

Here's the exchange when I type an incorrect passphrase to
grid-change-passphrase:

Enter pass phrase for /Users/bester/.globus/userkey.pem:
unable to load Private Key
62600:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal:bad
decrypt:evp_enc.c:509:
62600:error:0906A065:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad decrypt:pem_lib.c:423:
Failed to change passphrase

It would be nicer if it were something like (stolen from grid-proxy-init error
message):

Enter pass phrase for /Users/bester/.globus/userkey.pem:
Error: Couldn't read user key: Bad passphrase for key in
/Users/bester/.globus/userkey.pem
