To get the Common Name, this seems to work:
X509* pCert;
char buf[256];
int x = X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID(
X509_get_subject_name(pCert),
NID_commonName, buf, 256);
The return value seems to be the number of characters written to the buffer.
I'd also be interested if anyone has a code sample for extracting the
dNSName from the subjectAltName extension of a certificate.

Subject: extract CN and dNSName
If anyone could help me it would be well appreciated. I am trying to
extract the Common Name and the dNSName from a certificate. I was
attempting this using the X509_get_ext_d2i(x, NID_commonName or
NID_subject_alt_name, NULL, NULL);. I can't seem to get it working.
Thanks
