If you are using UTF8Strings (as the standards now suggest and which newer versions of OpenSSL are configured to do it wont just include the characters verbatim: it will convert to UTF8 format first. What do you mean by "escaped characters"? If you include the -nameopt option with the 'x509' utility and appropriate values it should display correctly. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
