Bacula Encryption, master key and certificate, how to check

Post Bacula Encryption, master key and certificate, how to check 
2012/1/31 Hugo Letemplier <hugo.let.35 < at > gmail.com>:
Hello

By the past, I made experimentations with bacula certificates.
When passing Bacula in "Production", I reset every certificates on all
the client in order to make everything fine.

It appears recently that I couldn't restore a windows server with the
master keypair because the master.cert was wrong.

I did the following query :


SELECT DISTINCT
 path.path,
 file.md5,
 job.starttime,
 client.name
FROM
   public.client,
   public.file,
   public.filename,
   public.path,
   public.job
WHERE
   client.clientid = job.clientid AND
   file.jobid = job.jobid AND
   file.filenameid = filename.filenameid AND
   file.pathid = path.pathid AND
   filename.name = 'master.cert'
ORDER BY file.md5,client.name,path.path,job.starttime
;

First I have seen that between operating systems (Linux,Mac) the md5
hash was different
Then on my four windows machines, the hash is always different (each
master.cert hash is unique on each windows machine.

How is this possible ?

Furthermore, if I test the master.cert manually with openssl md5, on
windows machines, it's not working if the .cert has the same openssl
md5 hash than on Linux or Mac

It seems to be a problem of EndOfLine or Encoding.

How should be stored the certificate in order to make it compliant
between every systems ?

Why do the bacula hashs on windows are always differents ?

Thanks

I solved partially my problem. My "master.cert" was with "/LF" as
endline caracters
The remaining problem is that bacula never told me that the cert was wrong !

Why bacula doesn't check the certificate content ?
