Hello,

My mother language is spanish so we have special characters like accents and
"�" "�", but when I try to enter this value in a certificate appears something
different, for example: \C3\B1


What should I do to preserve my special character in my certificates?

I have done things like:

1. Modify the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n to stablish de default language as
follows:

LANG="es_CO"
SUPPORTED="es_ES"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

This us done to stop using UTF-8 as default charset.

Test 1:

Generation of a request with openssl using the CA.pl utility fount in the path:
"/usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.pl", the named request has these parameters:


CN= Compa��a Londo�o Pe�a
O=Compa��a
OU=Londo�o Pe�a
C=CO
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

a. request processed with the demoCA and the result of the following command:
openssl asn1parse -in cert.pem
Gives as output the information as entered in the request.


b. The same request was inserted in the pub interface from OpenCA using the
option: "Server Request" (pkcs10)
in the confirm screen the pkcs#10 request appears as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED],CN=Compa\C3\B1ia London\C3\B1o
Pe\C3\B1a,OU=Londo\C3\B1o Pe\C3\B1a, O=Compan\C3\B1a, L=local, ST=local, C=CO


The character "�" was replaced by: "\C3\B1"

When I see the CSRs in the RA the data appears in this same way, the special
character replaced by "\C3\B1"

When I go to the approve section in "New Request Waiting for Approval" en the
section "Variable", "Common Name" equals "Compa��a Londo�o Pe�a" but for the
section "Distinguished Name" the CN appears as "Compa\C3\B1ia London\C3\B1o
Pe\C3\B1a"


If I edit the Request the data from the Subject appear with the "�" character,
they appear ok.


I don't know what else to do :(
