Can I build a DSA private key from an OpenSSL configuration file?

Yes, you can build a DSA private key from an OpenSSL configuration file, if you know the components of the key, as shown in the test below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>type asn1_dsa_pri_key.cnf
asn1 = SEQUENCE:dsa_pri_key

[dsa_pri_key]
version   =INTEGER:0
algorithm =SEQUENCE:dsa_alg
private   =OCTWRAP,INTEGER:0x6A9C8BEFEB21DDD3F16FB3A0A202E718A70D19F8

[dsa_alg]
algorithm =OID:dsaEncryption
parameter =SEQUENCE:dsa_param

[dsa_param]
