the line "MyAttribute=MyValue" is not correct
you must give a valid ASN1Object as the value
examples :
1.2.3.4 = DER:05:00 # oid=1.2.3.4 value = ASN1Null
1.2.3.4 = DER:16:05:68:65:6C:6C:6F # ASN1IA5String for "hello"
1.2.3.4 = DER:02:02:01:00 # ASN1Integer for 256
1.2.3.4 = DER:18:0f:32:30:30:32:30:34:31:35:31:32:34:38:34:35:5a # ASN1GeneralizedTime (2002/04/15 12:48:35)

You are correct. The attributes do not have to be part of the CSR. I
should have been more clear about that fact. I mentioned the CSR
because I was able to get the attributes to appear in the CSR (as
request attributes), but not the signed certificate as attributes or
extensions.

I have moved my additions into the default "usr_cert" section of the
config file. Executing the following command delivers the same error as
mentioned in my last message:
openssl ca -keyfile cakey.pem -in csr.pem -out crt.pem
