I am relatively new to OPENSSL. I have implemented OPENSSL into our hosting
software and I'm writing a GUI certificate manager specific to my
application.   I have a few questions:

1) Whats the point of the "Request Attributes?"   In the OPENSSL.CNF file,
there is two attributes, challengePassword and unstructuredName.   How are
these used?   Do I need them?

2) If they are required,  are they carried over to the signed certificate
issued by the CA?

I am just wondering if they are necessary as it was part of the default
OPENSSL package/configuration.

thanks
