Aha! One I hadn't come across. Thank you. I will read it tonight and maybe tomorrow I can make some progress.

Cheers,
        Bob.

I am trying to add two new OIDs to my configuration, and then specify that a certificate should contain such objects with values that I specify. After extensive RTFMing and a lot of time wading through the configuration code I still have not got a working setup. Can anyone provide an example?

What I have been trying is along the lines of the config file included below, and the complaint from openssl req is:

Error Loading extension section v3_req
28763:error:2207C081:X509 V3 routines:DO_EXT_CONF:unknown extension:v3_conf.c:128:
28763:error:2206B080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_conf:error in extension:v3_conf.c:92:name=msOID2, value=V0.0


Is there any more complete documentation on the config file format? I have not yet found any "formal" explanation of constructs like:
certificatePolicies = ia5org,@policy


Yes, its in the X509v3_config manual page or:

http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.html

OpenSSL 0.9.8-dev supports a mini-ASN1 compiler which allows custom extensions
to be generated.
