hello,
according to the following asn.1 structure, a time string storing validity
information in a x509 certificate can be given in two ways:
[snip]
Validity ::= SEQUENCE {
notBefore Time,
notAfter Time
}
Time ::= CHOICE {
utcTime UTCTime,
generalTime GeneralizedTime
}
[snap]
well, i guess UTCTime is a string of seconds reprasentating the seconds
passed from 1.1.1900 untill today. but what is the excat format of a
GeneralizedTime string? can openssl handle GeneralizedTime strings (i guess it can ;-)
)?
i tried to put a string like "20040323050505Z" into this field, but "openssl
x509 -in certificate.pem -text -noout" gave me back some date in 1969. well,
what am i doing wrong in general? and in particular, do i have to decrease
the month by 1, so that for example march would be reprasentated by "02"?
thanx for help,
claus
