Special character in S(State) of subject getting changed while generating CSR using crypto tool

  • 1.  Special character in S(State) of subject getting changed while generating CSR using crypto tool

    Posted Thu November 28, 2024 09:43 AM

    Hi Everyone, I'm generating CSR and Private key using crypto tool to renew existing certificate with special charater in S field of subject. While generating CSR, I see S=Haryāna is the value in existing certificate and provided the same value but when looking at CSR file, it got changed to S = Haryāna. It seems to be some encoding conversion happened in the background while generating CSR in DataPower crypto tool and ā doesn't seem to be supported in ANSI encoded text. Could someone help how to get this sorted since I need to have same value for DN in the newly generated CSR/Certificate.

    Hi,

    you seem to have uncovered a DataPower bug, please create a support ticket.

    I used WebGUI crypto tool with ST=Haryāna is (not S) and downloaded the created temporary:///foo.csr.
    Then I saw what you reported:
    $ openssl asn1parse -i -in foo.csr | grep Hary
       35:d=5  hl=2 l=  10 prim:      UTF8STRING        :Haryāna
    $
