You can repeat any attribute in DN as many times as you wish. The way to do it is to add multiple entries for this attribute into the [req] session of your config file. Example: 0.stateOrProvinceName = State or Province Name 1 (full name) 0.stateOrProvinceName_default = Estonia 1.st

The result of CreatePKCS10 (sz10) _is_ in PEM format, it just misses BEGIN/END tags. Add those with the following: pkcs10Request = "-BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-" + CHR(13) + sz10 + "-END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-" Then you can feed pkcs10Request directly to 'openssl ca'. Kau

Hello. The following works for me. I won't give you the full forms since they are in Estonian and utterly unreadable, but the idea should be clear. First, try everything with MSIE 5. It is much more intelligent than IE4 - understands certificate chains, shows the certs in a nice and logical way,
