Hi Pat. According to the docs and what I read, this should just "work". :) In this case, fooname is just a string. I am starting simple to get the syntax down, then I will tackle other types. So I am not trying anything fancy. I did try your suggestion if trying using the bare OID but got the same error. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
