Hi,
I'm currently fiddling around with extending certificates with a custom X509
extension (identified by OID), but can't seem to get it working. When using an
OID for the first method argument to crypto.X509Extension, the error message is
"ValueError: Unknown extension name". Using a known extension name or OID (from
objects.h), the error message changes to "ValueError: Unknown extension".
>From looking into the source code to src/crypto/x509ext.c, it seems that the
second error message is triggered by the extension not having any methods (?).
Could somebody point me to more literature regarding X509 extensions in
pyOpenSSL and/or provide some working examples for this?
Thanks a lot,
--ck
