Hello,

You have to use "/" instead of the "," inside the LDAP-URI, because 
the "," delimits the URIs. The "?" does not do any harm, you can use 
it without change.

(Besides, some time ago I read in a comment that openssl would not 
support ldap-URIs because of the commas inside the ldap-URI. When 
you create text-output from a certificate with "openssl x509 -in 
certificate.pem -text" you see that the ldap entry for subject uses 
slashes! Just did the same, it worked.)

Best regards,
Michael

Betreff: How do I input ldap urls of the crlDistributionPoints URI value
in openssl.cnf ?


Hello, 

I use OpenSSL 0.97 library. 
I read the opensl.txt file and trying to use crlDistributionPoints
extention option.
But I met some problem to use crl repository point in ldap url format.
The below shows the error messages.
Error Loading extension section usr_cert
1704:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no

ldap://203.233.91.35:389/ou=dp2p1140,ou=LicensedCA,o=yessign,c=kr?certif
icateRevocationList

I surveyed the errors. I found the reason that the ldap url format has
like this,
ldap://203.233.91.35:389/ou=dp2p1140,ou=LicensedCA,o=yessign,c=kr?certif
icateRevocationList and this string has the characters "," and "?". 
I also see the URI name value pair is delimited by ","  in openssl.cnf
file.
So OpenSSL library read the "," in ldap url as URI delimiter. And fail
to parse the string. 

I need some help to input the correct ldap url in openssl.cnf .
Any one knows how to input the ldap url in openssl.cnf?

Thanks.
