How would I decode the X509_REQ_INFO structure on the other side, turning it back into X509_REQ? While I can see a d2i_X509_REQ_INFO() function, I can’t find a corresponding function in openssl 1.1.0+ that assigns this to a X509_REQ, unless I am missing it? By way of concrete example, having crossed the module boundary we need to pull out details from the X509_REQ_INFO, which can only be done if this structure has been assigned to a X509_REQ first: https://source.redwax.eu/projects/RS/repos/mod_ca/browse/mod_ca_ldap.c#368 Regards, Graham —
