The relevant standards will normally include this information. In the case of serialNumber there is an optional DN component X520SerialNumber which is referred to as "serialNumber" by OpenSSL. This is an attribute associated with the subject of the certificate. There is also a mandatory certificate field called serialNumber which is a unique serialNumber included by a CA. I suggest you view the certificate with 'openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text' and see which one you wish to extract. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
