Where do you expect the email address to come from? The email:copy
and email:move are designed to copy or move an email address found in
the subject RDN with the attribute type emailAddress. So basically,
if you have a subject DN that looks like this:
C=SE, L= Stockholm, CN=Richard Levitte, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
... the following can be expected:
1. with subjectAltName=email:copy:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in an email subjectAltName.
Subject is unchanged.
1. with subjectAltName=email:move:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in an email subjectAltName.
Subject is now C=SE, L= Stockholm, CN=Richard Levitte
jbruni> I have tried to get this to work two different ways: the first

Uhmm, subjectAltName has no business being inside any DN. It's a
certificate extension, pure and simple.
