This depends on the version of the 509 you are working with, have
you(obviously not) read any of the RFC's pertaining to this subject? You
can usually get them of ftp.isi.edu, are via the web at
www.rfc-editor.org. The one in specific I am thinking about is 2459 which
details version three cert's. I don't remember the number off hand for
version one. If you can't find the rfc at either of those locations I
would be glad to email it to you directly.
