Well X509_NAME. You can get the subject and issuer names from the X509 structure using X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_get_subject_name(). If you want to print the textual format of the name you can use X509_NAME_print_ex(). If however you want to parse and examine the fields you should instead use the X509_NAME utilities such as X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() etc. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
