Hi!

i'm trying to handle a speciality in a CSR generated by openSSL, which  
sets a special X.509v3 subject alternative name, set with  
"URI:<sometext>". A generated CSR looks like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Human readable it looks like this (where the X509v3subject alt.name is  
set with this "URI:freetext" message):
  ..... <snip>....
         Attributes:
         Requested Extensions:
             X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
                 URI:freetext
             X509v3 Key Usage:
                 Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key Encipherment,  
Data Encipherment
             Netscape Cert Type:
                 SSL Client, SSL Server
             X509v3 Extended Key Usage:
                 TLS Web Server Authentication, TLS Web Client  
Authentication
  ..... <snip>....

After some days spending around with configuration files of openca and  
openssl, I've found in the documentation that there is only support  
for eMail addresses in this field. Refering to chapter "6. Subject  
Alternative Name" in the configuration documentation chapter 4, (see 
http://www.openca.org/~madwolf/ch04s06.html) 
, I would like to request that I'm needing this special URI field with  
free text. Is it possible to implement this? Or even configure this  
without code change?

I'd be very happy to hear from you.

Regards,
Harald Latzko
