Okay, in 2006 a "laura" asked the same question (more or less) and the grid project also mentioned it in their papers. Another person asked that too, but the response he got...plain unsensitive. So I have found three references in total. Indeed not much, but the Grid project is the most important one.
Question: why not include all the OID's mentioned in RFC3280 and beyound? If you do not, where can we find these numeric representations (and why have they not been included in the RFC in the first place)? And finaly, when is the example openssl.cnf replaced by one which does not include deprecated objects like nsComment etc. Tomorrow, I will try the OID you have given before. Again, thanks for the effort, Frans.
