Well provided you are relying on OpenSSL for the processing you should have no problems. However you shouldn't expect other software (such as MSIE) to display the string because it doesn't understand the extension. There is already a string extension you can insert into certificates called nsComment which may suit your needs. OpenSSL 0.9.8-dev is available from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/ with a filename of the form openssl-SNAP-<date>.tar.gz, for example: ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/openssl-SNAP-20050513.tar.gz Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
