this is hopefully not its encoding in the certificate but the output of a program you use to display it? > In the Certificate CN the GN was encoded as: "Bärbel" again, what exactly do you show here? > when i make an LDAP-Add the Operation breaks with "B\C3\A4rbel". When i this is RFC2253 hex escapes, which makes it ASCII-transportable. at a certain point, it has to be de-escaped... > change it to "Bärbel" it works. well, you sent your mail ISO 8859-1 encoded, so this looks like literal UTF-8. if you had sent your mail UTF-8 encoded, the umlaut would have been readable. > Why there are two different Codings in the Certificate and how can i > change the encoding in the Certificate CN-Part to "Bärbel" (wich > code-set is it ?) please send the certificate, i'd like to see whether it is encoded correctly. openssl has some documented bugs when it comes to non-ASCII characters, i would be surprised if openca whould handle non-ASCII correctly everywhere, and certain LDAP implementations may be buggy, too... rj _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Openca-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openca-users
