Hi all,

I found the problem why multiple email-addres in subject_alt_name dissappear...

It is a problem with openssl:
To create a Subject_alt_name with multiple eMail Addresses there are two possibilities to write the extension file:

---snipp---
subjectAltName=email:[EMAIL PROTECTED],email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
---snapp---

OR

---snipp---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[alt_section]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
---snapp---


OpenCA currently uses the second version, the Subject_alt_name is passed from to the CA as
SUBJECT_ALT_NAME = email:[EMAIL PROTECTED],email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

but is split up into its parts while genereting the extension.

I see 3 possible aproaches to solve the problem:

a) Switch to the first notation
b) Modify the passing from RA to reflect the correct naming, e.g.
SUBJECT_ALT_NAME = email.1:[EMAIL PROTECTED],email.2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
c) Rewrite the extfile creation util to add the index-numbers

I think there is a reason why you havent taken a) in the past, b) will look ugly and c) is the method IMHO

Pls send me your comments - I will rewrite the code than

Oliver
