Hello list,

I'm not much into the details of X.509 certificates, so I please need
a little "kick off" help.

I want to include some kind of meta information into certificates, e.g.

foo = x
bar = y
baz = z

A collegue of mine recommended to use the "subject alternative name"
extension 
(http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.html#Subject_Alternative_Name_).
He told me, that I could "abuse" this to include custom
attribute/value fields. But after reading the description on
openssl.org I'm not sure, if this is true.

Could someone please tell me what type of extension I need to use or
if I need an own extension?

Thank you for helping
M.
