UTF8 question - Openssl
This is a discussion on UTF8 question - Openssl ; Hi
I can create certificates with UTF-8 Strings like this:
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt ( pName, "CN", MBSTRING_UTF8, ( unsigned char* )
subject.commonName.toUtf8(), -1, -1, 0 );
But how can I read back entries in the same encoding?
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID does not return UTF-8 ...

UTF8 question
Hi
I can create certificates with UTF-8 Strings like this:
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt ( pName, "CN", MBSTRING_UTF8, ( unsigned char* )
subject.commonName.toUtf8(), -1, -1, 0 );
But how can I read back entries in the same encoding?
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID does not return UTF-8 and I cannot find a function
where I can specify MBSTRING_UTF8.
regards,
Gerhard.

You need to get the individual ASN1_STRING structures for each field and then
call ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8().
