Hello everybody,

Can anyone tell me which RFC defines X.509v3
certificates? And if OpenCA fits to that standard?

openca uses openssl, openssl implents the cryptographic standards
we 'just' provide an interface to put at abstract...

which enables you, to implement a certain pki structure and policy
(workflow, who does what at which step... and so on)

so openssl provides the technology - we provide the logic or better
the framework for the logic/workflow above

openssl supports v3 certificates, you can setup the needed attributes
at the extension files inside the etc structure...

this page gives a quite good overview of relevant and available rfcs for x509 ;o)
http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/data/x509.htm

so in general you wanna look at:
[RFC 2459] Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.
* Obsoleted by: RFC 3280.

means read: RFC 3280 for up to date informations... since 2459 is from 1999 or 
something
