Thanks, it works.
Added to [ new_oids ]: mycustomexension=1.2.3.4.5 entered into [ my_extensions ] mycustomextension=DER:01:01:FF used x509_extensions=my_extensions where needed. (names are dummynames) Nevertheless, in the certs one only sees the oid. Suppose, that cleartext will be only available for standard-extensions.
