Hi all,
I want to create some certificates which CN has
special french characters (like é, è or à...). When I called the function
X509_Name_add_entry_by_NID with this special string (like "Fréd Vàlè"), it
returns an error.
After debugging the application, i found that
it's the function UTF8_getc whose returns the error....
This is the part of my code :
.....
// Create a new X509_NAME for CN
element
if( !(n = X509_NAME_new()) )
goto error;
if( (nid = OBJ_txt2nid( "CN" )) == NID_undef )
goto error;
// Add the string "Fréd Vàlé" to "CN" (by using MBSTRING_UTF8)
BYTE abValue[] = "Fréd Vàlè";
if( !X509_NAME_add_entry_by_NID( n, nid, MBSTRING_UTF8, abValue, -1, -1, 0 ) )
goto error;
....
If I put in comment the "UTF8_getc" function, all
is OK. But if I tried to parse the created file with the command
asn1parse, the string is encoded to ASN1_T61STRING
and not to ASN1_UTF8STRING. So why ????
I supposed that somebody test UTF8 encoding with
stressed characters. So what can I do to use correctly UTF8 encoding
?
Excuse me for my bad english....
Thanks
vincent
