Hello,

Sorry that this is not directly related to WSS4J but perhaps someone here may know the answer. I would like to add extensions to X509 certificates as per the X509 v3 standard. Ideally I would like to do this using keytool as that's what I use to create and manage the rest of my keys.

I have looked at the keytool instructions and can't see any mention of how to add extensions. The X509Extension class can read the extensions from certificates but cannot create them.

I want to do this so that in my password call back class I can extract the clients public key from the MessageContext and then create a X509Certificate from it. I then want to extract the information held in the extensions and then use it to find additional information about the user so I can do some additional security checks.

Please can somebody provide me with some advice.

thanks
