>1.0.0 uses a different algorithm for computing hashes which relies on a form of canonical encoding. Does that mean we need to recompute the hashes for existing CA certs and CRLs if we are to work with 1.0.0 since it seems to generate a different hash value for the same cert? -Sandeep On Tue, Ja

utf8string vs printablestring mismatch in certificate checking

2010-01-19 Thread Colin Phipps
We are having trouble using openssl's certificate checking to validate certain certificates where certificates in the chain are inconsistent in their choice of string encoding. Using e.g. openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5, the connection in the accompanying certificate chain (intermediate cert and final cert
