All,
The ASN.1 DER encoding rules for "SET OF" collection say that the values of
the occurrences in this collection should be lexicographically ordered. I
have noticed that i2d_X509_NAME function omits this sorting for the
RelativeDistinguishedName member of the X509-NAME. BTW, I saw the same
behavior in other libraries (for example getEncoded method of
X509Certificate class in Java 2 SDK), but could not find an explanation for
this exception.
Can somebody explain this exception from asn.1 encoding rules ?
