Each line of the extension section takes the form: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& extension_name=[critical,] extension_options -.Ve -.PP -If \fBcritical\fR is present then the extension will be critical. -.PP -The format of \fBextension_options\fR depends on the value of \fBextension_name\fR. -.PP -There are four main types of extension: \fIstring\fR extensions, \fImulti-valued\fR -extensions, \fIraw\fR and \fIarbitrary\fR extensions. -.PP -String extensions simply have a string which contains either the value itself -or how it is obtained. -.PP -For example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& nsComment="This is a Comment" -.Ve -.PP -Multi-valued extensions have a short form and a long form. The short form -is a list of names and values: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& basicConstraints=critical,CA:true,pathlen:1 -.Ve -.PP -The long form allows the values to be placed in a separate section: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& basicConstraints=critical,@bs_section -\& -\& [bs_section] -\& -\& CA=true -\& pathlen=1 -.Ve -.PP -Both forms are equivalent. -.PP -The syntax of raw extensions is governed by the extension code: it can -for example contain data in multiple sections. The correct syntax to -use is defined by the extension code itself: check out the certificate -policies extension for an example. -.PP -If an extension type is unsupported then the \fIarbitrary\fR extension syntax -must be used, see the \s-1ARBITRARY EXTENSIONS\s0 section for more details. -.SH "STANDARD EXTENSIONS" -.IX Header "STANDARD EXTENSIONS" -The following sections describe each supported extension in detail. -.SS "Basic Constraints." -.IX Subsection "Basic Constraints." -This is a multi valued extension which indicates whether a certificate is -a \s-1CA\s0 certificate. The first (mandatory) name is \fB\s-1CA\s0\fR followed by \fB\s-1TRUE\s0\fR or -\&\fB\s-1FALSE\s0\fR. If \fB\s-1CA\s0\fR is \fB\s-1TRUE\s0\fR then an optional \fBpathlen\fR name followed by an -non-negative value can be included. -.PP -For example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& basicConstraints=CA:TRUE -\& -\& basicConstraints=CA:FALSE -\& -\& basicConstraints=critical,CA:TRUE, pathlen:0 -.Ve -.PP -A \s-1CA\s0 certificate \fBmust\fR include the basicConstraints value with the \s-1CA\s0 field -set to \s-1TRUE.\s0 An end user certificate must either set \s-1CA\s0 to \s-1FALSE\s0 or exclude the -extension entirely. Some software may require the inclusion of basicConstraints -with \s-1CA\s0 set to \s-1FALSE\s0 for end entity certificates. -.PP -The pathlen parameter indicates the maximum number of CAs that can appear -below this one in a chain. So if you have a \s-1CA\s0 with a pathlen of zero it can -only be used to sign end user certificates and not further CAs. -.SS "Key Usage." -.IX Subsection "Key Usage." -Key usage is a multi valued extension consisting of a list of names of the -permitted key usages. -.PP -The supporte names are: digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, -dataEncipherment, keyAgreement, keyCertSign, cRLSign, encipherOnly -and decipherOnly. -.PP -Examples: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& keyUsage=digitalSignature, nonRepudiation -\& -\& keyUsage=critical, keyCertSign -.Ve -.SS "Extended Key Usage." -.IX Subsection "Extended Key Usage." -This extensions consists of a list of usages indicating purposes for which -the certificate public key can be used for, -.PP -These can either be object short names or the dotted numerical form of OIDs. -While any \s-1OID\s0 can be used only certain values make sense. In particular the -following \s-1PKIX, NS\s0 and \s-1MS\s0 values are meaningful: -.PP -.Vb 10 -\& Value Meaning -\& \-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\- -\& serverAuth SSL/TLS Web Server Authentication. -\& clientAuth SSL/TLS Web Client Authentication. -\& codeSigning Code signing. -\& emailProtection E\-mail Protection (S/MIME). -\& timeStamping Trusted Timestamping -\& msCodeInd Microsoft Individual Code Signing (authenticode) -\& msCodeCom Microsoft Commercial Code Signing (authenticode) -\& msCTLSign Microsoft Trust List Signing -\& msSGC Microsoft Server Gated Crypto -\& msEFS Microsoft Encrypted File System -\& nsSGC Netscape Server Gated Crypto -.Ve -.PP -Examples: -.PP -.Vb 2 -\& extendedKeyUsage=critical,codeSigning,1.2.3.4 -\& extendedKeyUsage=nsSGC,msSGC -.Ve -.SS "Subject Key Identifier." -.IX Subsection "Subject Key Identifier." -This is really a string extension and can take two possible values. Either -the word \fBhash\fR which will automatically follow the guidelines in \s-1RFC3280\s0 -or a hex string giving the extension value to include. The use of the hex -string is strongly discouraged. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& subjectKeyIdentifier=hash -.Ve -.SS "Authority Key Identifier." -.IX Subsection "Authority Key Identifier." -The authority key identifier extension permits two options. keyid and issuer: -both can take the optional value \*(L"always\*(R". -.PP -If the keyid option is present an attempt is made to copy the subject key -identifier from the parent certificate. If the value \*(L"always\*(R" is present -then an error is returned if the option fails. -.PP -The issuer option copies the issuer and serial number from the issuer -certificate. This will only be done if the keyid option fails or -is not included unless the \*(L"always\*(R" flag will always include the value. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer -.Ve -.SS "Subject Alternative Name." -.IX Subsection "Subject Alternative Name." -The subject alternative name extension allows various literal values to be -included in the configuration file. These include \fBemail\fR (an email address) -\&\fB\s-1URI\s0\fR a uniform resource indicator, \fB\s-1DNS\s0\fR (a \s-1DNS\s0 domain name), \fB\s-1RID\s0\fR (a -registered \s-1ID: OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0), \fB\s-1IP\s0\fR (an \s-1IP\s0 address), \fBdirName\fR -(a distinguished name) and otherName. -.PP -The email option include a special 'copy' value. This will automatically -include and email addresses contained in the certificate subject name in -the extension. -.PP -The \s-1IP\s0 address used in the \fB\s-1IP\s0\fR options can be in either IPv4 or IPv6 format. -.PP -The value of \fBdirName\fR should point to a section containing the distinguished -name to use as a set of name value pairs. Multi values AVAs can be formed by -prefacing the name with a \fB+\fR character. -.PP -otherName can include arbitrary data associated with an \s-1OID:\s0 the value -should be the \s-1OID\s0 followed by a semicolon and the content in standard -\&\fIASN1_generate_nconf\fR\|(3) format. -.PP -Examples: -.PP -.Vb 5 -\& subjectAltName=email:copy,email:my@other.address,URI:http://my.url.here/ -\& subjectAltName=IP:192.168.7.1 -\& subjectAltName=IP:13::17 -\& subjectAltName=email:my@other.address,RID:1.2.3.4 -\& subjectAltName=otherName:1.2.3.4;UTF8:some other identifier -\& -\& subjectAltName=dirName:dir_sect -\& -\& [dir_sect] -\& C=UK -\& O=My Organization -\& OU=My Unit -\& CN=My Name -.Ve -.SS "Issuer Alternative Name." -.IX Subsection "Issuer Alternative Name." -The issuer alternative name option supports all the literal options of -subject alternative name. It does \fBnot\fR support the email:copy option because -that would not make sense. It does support an additional issuer:copy option -that will copy all the subject alternative name values from the issuer -certificate (if possible). -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& issuserAltName = issuer:copy -.Ve -.SS "Authority Info Access." -.IX Subsection "Authority Info Access." -The authority information access extension gives details about how to access -certain information relating to the \s-1CA.\s0 Its syntax is accessOID;location -where \fIlocation\fR has the same syntax as subject alternative name (except -that email:copy is not supported). accessOID can be any valid \s-1OID\s0 but only -certain values are meaningful, for example \s-1OCSP\s0 and caIssuers. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 2 -\& authorityInfoAccess = OCSP;URI:http://ocsp.my.host/ -\& authorityInfoAccess = caIssuers;URI:http://my.ca/ca.html -.Ve -.SS "\s-1CRL\s0 distribution points." -.IX Subsection "CRL distribution points." -This is a multi-valued extension whose options can be either in name:value pair -using the same form as subject alternative name or a single value representing -a section name containing all the distribution point fields. -.PP -For a name:value pair a new DistributionPoint with the fullName field set to -the given value both the cRLissuer and reasons fields are omitted in this case. -.PP -In the single option case the section indicated contains values for each -field. In this section: -.PP -If the name is \*(L"fullname\*(R" the value field should contain the full name -of the distribution point in the same format as subject alternative name. -.PP -If the name is \*(L"relativename\*(R" then the value field should contain a section -name whose contents represent a \s-1DN\s0 fragment to be placed in this field. -.PP -The name \*(L"CRLIssuer\*(R" if present should contain a value for this field in -subject alternative name format. -.PP -If the name is \*(L"reasons\*(R" the value field should consist of a comma -separated field containing the reasons. Valid reasons are: \*(L"keyCompromise\*(R", -\&\*(L"CACompromise\*(R", \*(L"affiliationChanged\*(R", \*(L"superseded\*(R", \*(L"cessationOfOperation\*(R", -\&\*(L"certificateHold\*(R", \*(L"privilegeWithdrawn\*(R" and \*(L"AACompromise\*(R". -.PP -Simple examples: -.PP -.Vb 2 -\& crlDistributionPoints=URI:http://myhost.com/myca.crl -\& crlDistributionPoints=URI:http://my.com/my.crl,URI:http://oth.com/my.crl -.Ve -.PP -Full distribution point example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& crlDistributionPoints=crldp1_section -\& -\& [crldp1_section] -\& -\& fullname=URI:http://myhost.com/myca.crl -\& CRLissuer=dirName:issuer_sect -\& reasons=keyCompromise, CACompromise -\& -\& [issuer_sect] -\& C=UK -\& O=Organisation -\& CN=Some Name -.Ve -.SS "Issuing Distribution Point" -.IX Subsection "Issuing Distribution Point" -This extension should only appear in CRLs. It is a multi valued extension -whose syntax is similar to the \*(L"section\*(R" pointed to by the \s-1CRL\s0 distribution -points extension with a few differences. -.PP -The names \*(L"reasons\*(R" and \*(L"CRLissuer\*(R" are not recognized. -.PP -The name \*(L"onlysomereasons\*(R" is accepted which sets this field. The value is -in the same format as the \s-1CRL\s0 distribution point \*(L"reasons\*(R" field. -.PP -The names \*(L"onlyuser\*(R", \*(L"onlyCA\*(R", \*(L"onlyAA\*(R" and \*(L"indirectCRL\*(R" are also accepted -the values should be a boolean value (\s-1TRUE\s0 or \s-1FALSE\s0) to indicate the value of -the corresponding field. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& issuingDistributionPoint=critical, @idp_section -\& -\& [idp_section] -\& -\& fullname=URI:http://myhost.com/myca.crl -\& indirectCRL=TRUE -\& onlysomereasons=keyCompromise, CACompromise -\& -\& [issuer_sect] -\& C=UK -\& O=Organisation -\& CN=Some Name -.Ve -.SS "Certificate Policies." -.IX Subsection "Certificate Policies." -This is a \fIraw\fR extension. All the fields of this extension can be set by -using the appropriate syntax. -.PP -If you follow the \s-1PKIX\s0 recommendations and just using one \s-1OID\s0 then you just -include the value of that \s-1OID.\s0 Multiple OIDs can be set separated by commas, -for example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& certificatePolicies= 1.2.4.5, 1.1.3.4 -.Ve -.PP -If you wish to include qualifiers then the policy \s-1OID\s0 and qualifiers need to -be specified in a separate section: this is done by using the \f(CW@section\fR syntax -instead of a literal \s-1OID\s0 value. -.PP -The section referred to must include the policy \s-1OID\s0 using the name -policyIdentifier, cPSuri qualifiers can be included using the syntax: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& CPS.nnn=value -.Ve -.PP -userNotice qualifiers can be set using the syntax: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& userNotice.nnn=@notice -.Ve -.PP -The value of the userNotice qualifier is specified in the relevant section. -This section can include explicitText, organization and noticeNumbers -options. explicitText and organization are text strings, noticeNumbers is a -comma separated list of numbers. The organization and noticeNumbers options -(if included) must \s-1BOTH\s0 be present. If you use the userNotice option with \s-1IE5\s0 -then you need the 'ia5org' option at the top level to modify the encoding: -otherwise it will not be interpreted properly. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& certificatePolicies=ia5org,1.2.3.4,1.5.6.7.8,@polsect -\& -\& [polsect] -\& -\& policyIdentifier = 1.3.5.8 -\& CPS.1="http://my.host.name/" -\& CPS.2="http://my.your.name/" -\& userNotice.1=@notice -\& -\& [notice] -\& -\& explicitText="Explicit Text Here" -\& organization="Organisation Name" -\& noticeNumbers=1,2,3,4 -.Ve -.PP -The \fBia5org\fR option changes the type of the \fIorganization\fR field. In \s-1RFC2459\s0 -it can only be of type DisplayText. In \s-1RFC3280\s0 IA5Strring is also permissible. -Some software (for example some versions of \s-1MSIE\s0) may require ia5org. -.SS "Policy Constraints" -.IX Subsection "Policy Constraints" -This is a multi-valued extension which consisting of the names -\&\fBrequireExplicitPolicy\fR or \fBinhibitPolicyMapping\fR and a non negative intger -value. At least one component must be present. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& policyConstraints = requireExplicitPolicy:3 -.Ve -.SS "Inhibit Any Policy" -.IX Subsection "Inhibit Any Policy" -This is a string extension whose value must be a non negative integer. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& inhibitAnyPolicy = 2 -.Ve -.SS "Name Constraints" -.IX Subsection "Name Constraints" -The name constraints extension is a multi-valued extension. The name should -begin with the word \fBpermitted\fR or \fBexcluded\fR followed by a \fB;\fR.

Their use in new applications is discouraged. -.SS "Netscape String extensions." -.IX Subsection "Netscape String extensions." -Netscape Comment (\fBnsComment\fR) is a string extension containing a comment -which will be displayed when the certificate is viewed in some browsers. -.PP -Example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& nsComment = "Some Random Comment" -.Ve -.PP -Other supported extensions in this category are: \fBnsBaseUrl\fR, -\&\fBnsRevocationUrl\fR, \fBnsCaRevocationUrl\fR, \fBnsRenewalUrl\fR, \fBnsCaPolicyUrl\fR -and \fBnsSslServerName\fR. -.SS "Netscape Certificate Type" -.IX Subsection "Netscape Certificate Type" -This is a multi-valued extensions which consists of a list of flags to be -included.

It is also possible to use the arbitrary -format for supported extensions. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that -the data is formatted correctly for the given extension type. -.PP -There are two ways to encode arbitrary extensions. -.PP -The first way is to use the word \s-1ASN1\s0 followed by the extension content -using the same syntax as \fIASN1_generate_nconf\fR\|(3). -For example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& 1.2.3.4=critical,ASN1:UTF8String:Some random data -\& -\& 1.2.3.4=ASN1:SEQUENCE:seq_sect -\& -\& [seq_sect] -\& -\& field1 = UTF8:field1 -\& field2 = UTF8:field2 -.Ve -.PP -It is also possible to use the word \s-1DER\s0 to include the raw encoded data in any -extension. -.PP -.Vb 2 -\& 1.2.3.4=critical,DER:01:02:03:04 -\& 1.2.3.4=DER:01020304 -.Ve -.PP -The value following \s-1DER\s0 is a hex dump of the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the extension -Any extension can be placed in this form to override the default behaviour. -For example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& basicConstraints=critical,DER:00:01:02:03 -.Ve -.SH "WARNING" -.IX Header "WARNING" -There is no guarantee that a specific implementation will process a given -extension. It may therefore be sometimes possible to use certificates for -purposes prohibited by their extensions because a specific application does -not recognize or honour the values of the relevant extensions. -.PP -The \s-1DER\s0 and \s-1ASN1\s0 options should be used with caution. It is possible to create -totally invalid extensions if they are not used carefully. -.SH "NOTES" -.IX Header "NOTES" -If an extension is multi-value and a field value must contain a comma the long -form must be used otherwise the comma would be misinterpreted as a field -separator. For example: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar -.Ve -.PP -will produce an error but the equivalent form: -.PP -.Vb 1 -\& subjectAltName=@subject_alt_section -\& -\& [subject_alt_section] -\& subjectAltName=URI:ldap://somehost.com/CN=foo,OU=bar -.Ve -.PP -is valid. -.PP -Due to the behaviour of the OpenSSL \fBconf\fR library the same field name -can only occur once in a section.
