Hi Richard, Yes, you are right, it could be difficult to garantee that the random serial number will be unique. Also a digest from timestamp will be more appropriate.
So suppose I can do something like that with e.g. (Linux) TIMESTAMP=`date` SN=`md5sum ${TIMESTAMP}` My question for you is how to write this SN's value when I sign the CSR?
