Hi All,
I've searched/read through much of the openssl-users
group and documents provided by openssl.org. I'm still
fuzzy about how to accomplish my task, maybe someone
can help out.
First of I'm not a coder, I can hack some, if its very
simple stuff.
I wish to add three custom fields for tracking
purposes. Each will be a string value that only in
house applications will know what to do with.
A client application will gen a cert request which
will be filled by our openssl base CA. Its my hope
that during the cert gen and signing process I can
insert my three fields.
>From what I understand there are two basic ways to do
this.
1.) Use an existing extension and alias it.
I really do not wish to do this.
2.) Modifying the openssl code to include my custom
extensions. I lack the experience and if what I read
was correct I would have to add the OIDs to every
application that need to read them.
So, all I want to do is put three fields contain
string values in a cert. Is there an easier way to do
this? What is my mis-understanding ?
Thanks in advance!
