Hi,

I'm using OpenCA 0.9.1.7.

I wonder if it is possible to include several OU (Organisational Unit) into the DN (Distinguished Name) of a certificate ?

I think it is possible to have this fields several times in the DN (and if I'm right it is either the only one that could have multiple occurences...)

Hi, In the RFC 3280 I found

The issuer field MUST contain a non-empty distinguished
name (DN).  The issuer field is defined as the X.501 type Name
[X.501].  Name is defined by the following ASN.1 structures:

   Name ::= CHOICE {
     RDNSequence }

   RDNSequence ::= SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedName

   RelativeDistinguishedName ::=
     SET OF AttributeTypeAndValue

   AttributeTypeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE {
     type     AttributeType,
     value    AttributeValue }

   AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
   AttributeValue ::= ANY DEFINED BY AttributeType

So not only "OU" can occur multiple, *every* AttributeType can occur multiple, can't it?

Regards
 Michael
