Ah, OK, that was a bit clearer.
Wu.Junwei> BTW, I have just found the i2d_X509_NAME function, can I
Wu.Junwei> use it?
Yes. You use it like this:
unsigned char *buf,*pp;
X509_NAME x509name;
int len;
len = i2d_X509_NAME(x509name,NULL);
if (len < 0) ERROR;
buf = malloc(len); pp = buf;
i2d_X509_NAME(x509name,&pp);
At this point, buf points at the DER-encoded DN, and len has its
length.
If all you want to do is write it to file, you can do it quite quickly
like this:
ASN1_i2d_fp(i2d_X509_NAME,f,(unsignde char *)x509name);
NOTE THAT ALL THE CODE ABOVE IS UNTESTED.
