Hi, My apologies for this post, but I've just had very little luck in getting information on working with Netscape Certificate Management System (CMS), and I gather that a number of people that might be familiar with it are here.
I'm working on a project where we need to retrieve/pull some information from the CMS' "internal databases" (which are LDAP directories). To this end, I've installed CMS 6.2 (on a Linux machine), and so far, I can pull some of what I need from the directory. In particular, the information that I really need is in the userCertificate attribute in the ou=certificateRepository subtree, and in the requestAttributes in the ou=ca subtree. Actually, working with the userCertificate attribute is not so much of a problem, as that looks like a base64 encoding of the issued certificates, but working with the requestAttributes attribute has been problematic. It's also a base64 encoding of some kind of binary blob. It looks like it has the original certificate request (base64-encoded) embedded in it, but I haven't been able to determine how to "parse" the overall blob to extract the "fields" within the blob (e.g., request_name, etc.). I've been looking at the CMS SDK for some hints, but frankly, I'm a bit lost :(. Again, my apologies if this post is off-topic. I've been looking into this for awhile, so if anyone can help, I'd very much appreciate it!!
