If you have any reference (website, paper) talking about this, I would
be glad to read them.

The english wikipedia article about ASN.1 should get you started. Don't miss the link to that 'A Layman's Guide to a Subset of ASN.1, BER, and DER' article there. RFC 5280 defines x509 certificates.

So I successed in creating a DER format file but I don't know wich part
of the "openssl asn1dn ..." I'm supposed to specify in
leftid="asn1dn:#xxxxxx". I dont know what is supposed to replace xxxxx.


    You have to use quotes.

             leftid="asn1dn:#306c310b3009060355040613024445...

    And you have to specify the DN in DER encoded format.

    openssl asn1parse decodes my DN example to
         0:d=0  hl=2 l= 108 cons: SEQUENCE
         2:d=1  hl=2 l=  11 cons:  SET
         4:d=2  hl=2 l=   9 cons:   SEQUENCE
         6:d=3  hl=2 l=   3 prim:    OBJECT            :countryName
        11:d=3  hl=2 l=   2 prim:    PRINTABLESTRING   :DE
        15:...

You can extract the RDN from your DER encoded certificate or certificate request. openssl asn1parse will tell you the offset and number of bytes to copy. In my example the offset is 0 and length is hl+l=110 bytes. Just find a sequence similar to my example in your openssl asn1parse output.
