Costantino,
     I've been playing with personal cert's and so I believe you would use
something like this:
openssl pkcs12 -export -keyex -noiter -keysig -in client.crt -inkey client.key
-name "Personal Certificate" -out msclient.p12
     I believe that the three options (-keyex -noiter -keysig) make it
compatible with NT/IE4 as opposed to Netscape.
I don't really know the adverse effects of setting these options, I think
-noitter makes the pkcs12 blob less secure.
Don't take this as a definitive answer as I don't understand all the details
yet.

Subject:  x509v3 certs and NT4




Hi,

this may not be the proper mailing list for my request, but the subject is
related and maybe somebody will be able to help me.

I've generated sono "Personal Digital IDs" using openssl. The format chosen is
the PKCS12 blob file.

I've installed them on Windows 2000 without any problem. When I tried to install
the same certs under Windows NT 4 I get an error message.

Any idea on which flags need to be set in order to generate certificates
compatible with NT 4?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Costantino Imbrauglio
