Sorry for the repost, but I didn't get any responses, therefore I wanted to post the problem again. Thanks to everyone for your help and assistance in solving this problem:
I opt to use a challenge password for sending a CA request. When I incorporate the challenge password I get the following error: Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []:1234567890 Error adding attribute 1896:error:0D0BA041:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_STRING_set:malloc failure:asn1_lib.c:381: 1896:error:0B08A041:x509 certificate routines:X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data:malloc failure:x509_att.c:317: problems making Certificate Request Here's another problem if I try to add the Optional Company Name for CA request using openssl: Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []: An optional company name []:FooBar Error adding attribute 332:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value:conf_lib.c:329:group=req_attributes name=unstructuredName_min 332:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value:conf_lib.c:329:group=req_attributes name=unstructuredName_max 332:error:0D0BA041:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_STRING_set:malloc failure:asn1_lib.c:381: 332:error:0B08A041:x509 certificate routines:X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data:malloc failure:x509_att.c:317: problems making Certificate Request If I bypass both Extra Attributes, the creation of the CA request works perfectly. Is it recommended to use a challenge password for CA requests? Your valuable imput is grately appreciated.
