I have two questions on generating certificates using OpenSSL:

1) I must generate client certificates with a subjectUniqueIdentifier field.
   I know it's been deprecated by the IETF, but the project I am working on
   requires its presence. I can set it to any value, as long as I set it to
   something.

   How can I configure OpenSSL to generate this field?

2) Everything must be DER encoded. I can get a certificate in DER
   format once the cert is signed. Unfortunatly, in order to get
   the cert signed, the private key must be in PEM format.

   Can I convert the PEM formatted private key to DER?
   If not, how can I sign certificates with a DER formatted private key?

All help is appreciated!!
