Openssl knows SN as serialNumber's short name and S as surname's short name. In LDAP SN stands for surname and serialnumber has no shortcuts. Second: Why are the openssl's txt2obj, and other fuctions case sensitive? The strings standing istead of OIDs should be case insensitive! Please. Anybody comments? (developers!!!!!)
