The "street" attribute type (OID 2.5.3.9) is not defined by RFC1779. This RFC doesn't state that those tokens are case sensitive (you could even use "cn" instead of "CN"). This RFC is defective at least in one aspect: the following names are not considered equal: CN=James Bond, O=MI6, C=UK CN=James \ Bond, O=MI6, C=UK CN=\ \ jAmeS bonD, O=MI6, C=UK these examples are equal, following X.520 rules. -- Erwann ABALEA <erwann.aba...@keynectis.com> Département R&D KEYNECTIS ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
