Hej, When using an external oid file containing -- 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25 DC domainComponent -- Generating a csr gives the following correct subject: -- Subject: DC=DK, DC=BAELUM, OU=Servers, CN=Baelum CA Authority -- When generating a a self signed crt shows the oid in the subject an issuer: -- subject=/0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=DK/0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=BAELUM/OU=Servers/CN=Baelum CA Authority -- Why is it showing the oid and not the short name Did i miss something in the documentation? I am using openssl -0.9.5a and use the following command openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt Can someone give me some help :-) /Peter J Slot Denmark ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
