Hi Nikos,
doing the same patch you suggested in a second location:
Line 1181 in lib/x509/common.c
/* result = asn1_write_value (dst, name, NULL, 0); */
result = asn1_write_value (dst, name, "\x05\x00", 2);
did do the trick. Now the certificate is accepted and displayed for acceptance. I'll update the info as soon as savannah is reachable again, the last hour or so, no connection was possible.
Can you please give me a little bit more information, where I can find out more about the correct parameters?
RFC3279 states:
The ASN.1 object identifier used to identify this signature algorithm
is:
sha-1WithRSAEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1)
pkcs-1(1) 5 }
When any of these three OIDs appears within the ASN.1 type
AlgorithmIdentifier, the parameters component of that type SHALL be
the ASN.1 type NULL.
The RSA signature generation process and the encoding of the result
is described in detail in PKCS #1 [RFC 2313].
So it is a SHOULD. But can you leave it out or what can you do, when you don't want to follow the SHOULD route?
I'd try to take the info to the openssl team and Apple because it would be their part now... But if the behaviour is not defined how to handle the non-SHOULD way it would make it difficult.
What's you opinion on that?
Thanks a lot!
Michael.
