Hi OpenSSL devs:
According to RFC 4524 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4524), the
attribute 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.44 for a unique identifier (as a
DirectoryString) for an object has an official attribute descriptor of
'uniqueIdentifier'.
At one point, OpenSSL may have supported uniqueIdentifier natively, but
not anymore. Can objects.txt be updated so that 'uniqueIdentifier' is
recognized? It is more useful than x500UniqueIdentifier, in that it is a
DirectoryString.
From:
# The following clashes with 2.5.4.45, so commented away
#pilotAttributeType 44 : uid : uniqueIdentifier
To:
pilotAttributeType 44 : : uniqueIdentifier
Note that 'uid' is taken by the short form of 'userId', so it should be
removed to avoid problems. 2.5.4.45 was renamed to
'x500UniqueIdentifier' (see RFC 4519 sec. 2.43), so there is no longer a
conflict.
Thanks,
Sean
