Hi all, I am just worling on a certificate profile an I need to include a cdp in the following form:
ldap://my.company.com/CN=Name,OU=Department,O=Company,C=DE?certificateRevocationList So the cdp should point to the crl in a directory on a certain server and the access protocal is ldap. >From the attached email I learnd that the commas in the directory string will >cause problems! But how is it done correct? How do I have to write the section mentioned below? All my tries result in messages like this: Error Loading extension section v3_ca 4461:error:2207507C:X509 V3 routines:v2i_GENERAL_NAME_ex:missing value:v3_alt.c:432: 4461:error:22098080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_nconf:error in extension:v3_conf.c:93:name=crlDistributionPoints, value=cdp_sect Best regards Thomas > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Dr. Stephen Henson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Sonntag, 5.
