error: ASN1_mbstring_copy:string too long:a_mbstr.c:154:maxsize=2 _only_ when using config file and prompt off

2010-04-13 Thread Alex Lam 
Hi all,

For some strange reasons, when I disable prompt in the cnf file, I run into
the  error: ASN1_mbstring_copy:string too
long:a_mbstr.c:154:maxsize=2 error.
Digging around on the net showed that my counter code is longer that 2
characters, which is not true. The following is my country name.

[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default = US
countryName_min= 2
countryName_max= 2

However, if I enable prompt, and just hit ENTER for the same default value,
everything went fine.

any idea what is going wrong here?

thanks,
alex.

Try:
countryName_value   = US
