Just following up...

I am trying to create a multi-valued RDN with OpenSSL using a config

According to the 2006 thread "Multi-value RDNs and openssl.cnf format"
<http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Multi-value-RDNs-and-openssl-cnf-format-td7925.html>,
one is supposed to do this by prefixing the keys in the
distinguished_name section with "+" on subsequent entries to add to a
multi-valued RDN, such as:
[distinguished_name]
ST = California
+L = Los Angeles
+postalCode=90013
Unfortunately, that (still) does not work. The error from openssl req
-x509 (etc.) is:
problems making Certificate Request
30008:error:0D06407A:asn1 encoding routines:a2d_ASN1_OBJECT:first num
too large:.\crypto\asn1\a_object.c:109:

I was successful at making a multi-valued RDN with the -multivalue-rdn
and -subj options, but that is not as versatile/scriptable. Any ideas?

PS It looks like it may be related to the behavior in auto_info
(req.c) X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt (x509name.c), in particular, the
relationship between the variables mval, type, and p in auto_info
(req.c). Could be a bug.
