Has anybody successfully used openssl to generate certificates for use with
Windows 2000 IPSec?

I've successfully set up an IPSec gateway between two Windows 2000 boxes
using certificate authentication. The certificates were created with
Microsoft's Certificate Services.

Instead of Certificate Services I want to use openssl to generate the
certificates. Using openssl I've created a root CA and a couple of machine
certificates. I've managed to figure out how to get openssl to add X509V3
extensions like key usage and extended key usage, and the certificates look
to me pretty much identical as the ones generated by Certificate Services.
However, when I try to use these certs W2K just comes back immediately and
says "... there is no valid machine certificate on your computer for
security authentication."

Of course, Microsoft provide no information about what they require in certs
for IPSec use. Does anybody know the secret?
