[openssl-dev] Netscape Comment Tag Value

Fri Jan 27 05:13:24 UTC 2017

Hi,

I have an OpenSSL based client which fails when validating a certificate generated by IBM RACF. It fails because the ASN.1 tag for the X509v3 extension Netscape Comment is 19 (V_ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING) and OpenSSL is expecting 22 (V_ASN1_IA5STRING). Is this a bug in OpenSSL or RACF? Can anyone point me to the RFC, or any document, that specifies the expected tag value?

Rod.
