The UID of openssl is NOT the UID of RFC2253. When openssl displays the string UID in a name, it's a X500UniqueIdentifier, not a unserid. Right now openssl displays userid as 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 in the string encoding of distinguished names. So deprecating the UID/X500UniqueIdentifier will not remove any functionnality with regard to the RFC you're quoting. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
