That name looks like it should be the commonName _field_ of the DN. The actual values of fields of the DN are specified in the config file IF in the initial/default section: prompt is set to no AND distinguished_name identifies the _section_ containing them. Otherwise distinguished_name identifies the section containing _prompts for_ the fields. Is that (either of those) the situation you have? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
