The X500 has been added by the LDAP people to avoid the name collision with pilotAttributeType.44 from RFC1274 and make things a _little_ simpler.
Well, when people say they want UniqueIdentifier, it should be likely they want 2.5.4.45 more than pilotAttributeType.44 from RFC1274, because this one is not used for anything. But in many cases, they truly want userId, pilotAttributeType.1 from RFC1274 and got the name wrong. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
