Well it "unsupported" means that OpenSSL cannot currently print out the details of otherName but it still gets stored in the certificate or request. Use of DirName will add an additional distinguished name (DN) do you really want to do that? If so then this is a bit trickier than the other options because you need to set up a config structure containing the DN components in a separate section. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
