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
