Code submission by Josh Roys: [PATCH] Add support for RFC4043 permanent identifiers #660

Hello,

Attached is a patch to implement (half of) RFC4043 Permanent Identifiers. The cases where the identifierValue is not supplied are not supported. (This was tested on pki 1.3.x and sometime soon I will test it on 9.0.x also.)

I'm not sure if the code reformatting is done yet, so I'll rebase this patch later if need be. Also, either a V2 of this patch or a follow-up will add pretty-printing.

Josh

Thanks for submitting the code. A couple questions: 1. in the Description it says that this "is a patch to implement (half of) RFC4043 Permanent Identifiers." Which half is that? (what's implemented and what's not?) 2. Do you know of any publicly available client that supports this RFC? Thanks! - Christina

Hello Christina,

You're welcome. According to the RFC, there are four combinations of two OPTIONAL values (search for "The various combinations are detailed below:" in the RFC). Cases three and four where the identifierValue is absent are not supported with the current code. However, re-reading the text it is possible I misinterpreted it and the language is geared towards the client w.r.t. a missing identifierValue requiring the use of a serialNumber... For comment 2, I was unable to find much on existing implementations, and I even found a few incorrectly implemented (I don't actually recall finding a "good" one). Due in part to this and changing requirements on our end, it looks like this extension won't be necessary for us.
