[openssl-users] Example code to add several CRL distribution points

[Dave Coombs]

Hi Dirk,

First point: you are populating distpoint->name.relativename (which is a union member) but setting the discriminator distpoint->type to 0, which indicates to use fullname rather than relativename.  So your structure will not be interpreted correctly.

In any case, I think you want to populate fullname, instead of relativename.  You're using a url, not a relative DN.

Make a GENERAL_NAMES, and add to it a GENERAL_NAME whose type is GEN_URI, and whose value (as an IA5String) is the url you want, and then point distpoint->name.fullname at the GENERAL_NAMES.

And, as before, you can do this multiple times and add additional DIST_POINTs.

Good luck,
  -Dave
