    <p>So I'm doing an Android app and banging my head against our company's OAuth2 implementation (worse integration of my professional career by far, and it's not even done yet). I'm up to the exchange of client credentials part -- I'm getting back the credential in PFX format as a Base 64 encoded string. I then attempt to do this:</p> <pre><code>CredentialResponse resp = ServerAccessLayer.SSO.Model.CredentialFromJson(json); CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); InputStream cert = new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.decode(resp.credential, Base64.DEFAULT)); X509Certificate x509 = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(cert); </code></pre> <p>I've seen this code snippet linked in several places both on SO and in blog posts -- as near as I can tell it should work, but I'm getting this:</p> <pre><code>java.security.cert.CertificateException: org.apache.harmony.security.asn1.ASN1Exception: DER: only definite length encoding MUST be used </code></pre> <p>I'm a bit out of my depth, being a mainly web/Javascript UI programmer that's been suckered into learning Android and writing this app. So this might be too much or too little information, but here's the Base64 encoded string I'm getting back as a credential:</p> <pre><code>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 </code></pre> <p>I have almost no ability to contact the people who actually wrote the SSO provider (they're in another country, and respond to even the most detailed e-mails with basically useless information and log entries that mean nothing to me), so I kind of have to figure this out myself.

    1. COAccording to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/cert/CertificateFactory.html#generateCertificate(java.io.InputStream) you need a DER format certificate. Is there a particular reason you are getting a PFX?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
