Hi All,
First post on the group,
I am using go version go1.18.4 darwin/arm64.
I am trying to create X509 certificate with following code.
var COMMON_NAME = asn1.ObjectIdentifier([]int{2, 5, 4, 3})
serial := new(big.Int).SetUint64(1)
subjectExtraNames = append(subjectExtraNames,
pkix.AttributeTypeAndValue{Type: COMMON_NAME, Value: "golang"})
caCertTemplate := &x509.Certificate{
SerialNumber: 1,
IsCA: true,
NotBefore: time.Now(),
Subject: pkix.Name{ExtraNames: pkixAttrTypeValue},
NotAfter: time.Now().AddDate(10, 0, 0),
KeyUsage: x509.KeyUsageDigitalSignature | x509.KeyUsageCertSign,
BasicConstraintsValid: true,
}
when I inspect the created certificate using asn1parse -in <PathToPemFile>
31:d=4 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE
33:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :commonName
38:d=5 hl=2 l= 6 prim: *PRINTABLESTRING* :golang
the common name is *PRINTABLESTRING* and not the *UTF8STRING.*
As i understand, golang strings are utf8 default then why it is not *UTF8STRING
?*
However, in above code when i use below to create certificate
subjectExtraNames = append(subjectExtraNames,
pkix.AttributeTypeAndValue{Type: COMMON_NAME, Value: "é um"})
and when I inspect certificate then it shows *UTF8STRING *for* é um"*
If this is how it is then is there a way to get a string without special
characters as *UTF8STRING *in certificate?
