Don't know whether 'Role' can be pushed as part of DN while generating the 
certificate, but your access control requirements can be done by RBAC. 

Enable RBAC either at the time of openca build process or by manually 
changing the configuration file ..... All it does is, extract cert 
information from the client browser/token ( serial no ) and match it with the 
backend database to identify the Role..... After all, checking against your 
*secure db* for existance will always be the better solution...
