In a private CA world really the only field you have to worry about is=20 the Common Name. It's nice to set the other values to something=20 sensible, particularly if you're doing a private PKI for a large firm,=20 where it's handy to track contact information, etc., etc., as part of=20 the certificate, but that's all to keep the humans from getting=20 confused. Now, if you're getting your certs from another party, they'll = want you to either put in real values or leave the values blank,=20 depending on what they're certifying by signing your certificate, but=20 that's out of your scope. --Jon Radel jon@radel.com --------------ms050107010509070408090302 Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
