Re: [DEV] OpenSSL and Microsoft Windows

[dsf]

I think yes. MS stores certificates in DER format. You can pass it to OpenSSL 
with "-inform DER" key. Or you can convert DER to PEM with OpenSSL.

RC4 I think.

Yes it's possible. I'm doing like this for now... , but
I'm not shure whether this is correct...

OBJ_create - a little problem.

[dsf]

Hi everybody!

Here is the sample code:

   int nid;
   nid = OBJ_create("1.2.3.4", "MyAlias", "My Test
Alias Extension");
   X509V3_EXT_add_alias(nid, NID_netscape_comment);
   add_ext(x, nid, "Test Extension...");

It works fine :) But I want to change the first
parameter in OBJ_create() and I fail there. As I think,
it have to be in some special format, but I can't found
any info about it.

Thanks a lot!

X509 extensions

[dsf]

How can I rewrite some field in X509 extension and than
save whole certificate with this change to file?
