Dear ladies/gentlemen,

I'd like to clear up the situation with the feature described in manual
http://openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.htm (attached below).

I tried even that same example from the manual, with 2 different versions
of open ssl (0.9.7 linux, 1.0.0 windows) -- in both cases this example
does not work. But the feature is highly valuable! (for ladap URIs,
you know).
So, any hint, please. (I can "work around" the problem with row
format of fields, but it's not a nice solution).

The message when example block is included:

Error Loading extension section v3_ca
3680:error:22075075:X509 V3 routines:v2i_GENERAL_NAME_ex:unsupported
option:.\crypto\x509v3\v3_alt.c:557:name=subjectAltName

> NOTES
> If an extension is multi-value and a field value must contain a comma
> the long form must be used otherwise the comma would be misinterpreted as a 
> field separator.
> For example:
>  subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar
> will produce an error but the equivalent form:
>  subjectAltName=@subject_alt_section
>  [subject_alt_section]
>  subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar
