Hi I have a certificate with a crlDistributionPoint extension. Using OpenSSL terms, the extension consists of two DIST_POINT*.....one of the type GEN_DIRNAME and the other of the type GEN_URI. In my code I have "parsed" these DIST_POINT* and what I end up with is a GENERAL_NAME* for each distribution point. To get a readable text, I do a i2d_GENERAL_NAME(). For the GEN_URI this gives me a string including 2 header bytes. For the GEN_DIRNAME this gives me a string where I can see the right information is there, but there it is also stuffed with a lot of non-readable bytes.
But what I really want is a readable text only, like the one you get when OpenSSL dumps information about an X.509 certificate: DirName:/C=DK/O=xxx Internet/OU=xxx Class II CA/CN=MainCRL URI:http://xxxx.xxxx.dk/Class_II.crl How can I parse the crlDistributionPoint to get these two texts returned: /C=DK/O=xxx Internet/OU=xxx Class II CA/CN=MainCRL http://xxxx.xxxx.dk/Class_II.crl TIA, Kim Hellan KMD / KMD-CA http://www.kmd-ca.dk Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
