Hi,
For OpenSSL you can add new OIDs in Configuration file
option, which has a
variable oid_file, this specifies a file containing
additional OBJECT
IDENTIFIERS. Each line of the file should consist of
the numerical form of
the object identifier followed by white space then the
short name followed
by white space and finally the long name.
Generally the configuration file reside under
'/etc/ssl/' or in
'/usr/lib/ ' as "openssl.cnf " file, which possibly
contain following
lines and you can specify your OID file there.
# OpenSSL example configuration file.
# This is mostly being used for generation of
certificate requests.
#
RANDFILE= $ENV::HOME/.rnd
oid_file= $ENV::HOME/.oid
oid_section= new_oids
[ new_oids ]
# Add a simple OID like this:
# testoid1=1.2.3.4
# Or use config file substitution like this:
# testoid2=${testoid1}.5.6
Object identifiers are, basically, strings of numbers.
They are allocated in
a hierarchical manner, They are used in a variety of
protocols. The formal
definition of OIDs comes from ITU-T recommendation
X.208 (ASN.1)
