`openssl`: Subject Alternative Name

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I wrote this bit of code to get the Common Name of the subject field in the SSL certificate for a given domain: $ echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\nEOT" | openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 2>&1 | grep subject subject=/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=*.google.com However, this only gives me the “subject” value. Alternative CNs may be listed in the “Subject Alternative Name” field. For example: So, how can I get the value of the Subject Alternative Name field in Bash? (HowTos)

Stories similar to `openssl`: Subject Alternative Name

I wish to configure OpenSSL such that when running openssl req -new to generate a new certificate signing request, I am prompted for any alternative subject names to include on the CSR.

I have added this line to the [req_attributes] section of my openssl.cnf:

subjectAltName = Alternative subject names

This has the desired effect that I am now prompted for SANs when generating

We are doing client authenticatie using certificates in Apache. We want to pass the value in the subject.serialNumber of the certificate to the application server. It seems every field of the suject can be retrieved and passed using SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_, except for subject.serialNumber. Does anyone know how the value can be extracted?

I was wondering how mail administrators handle emails w/o any subject material? I don't know if this is an RFC guideline that requires email to have a subject but I find it extremely annoying when email doesn't have a subject. I don't know if that's just personal preference or if it's an actual guideline for mail to have 'subject' data.

The following code works when I directly run it in bash shell:

SUBJECT="SUBJECT-"`date`; MAIL_FROM="abc@site.com"; MAIL_TO="abc@site.com"; MAIL_CC="abc@site.com"; MAIL_FILE="/path/of/html/body.html"; (echo -e "Subject: $SUBJECT\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nFrom: $MAIL_FROM\nTo:$MAIL_TO\nCc:$MAIL_CC\nContent-Type: text/html\nContent-Disposition: inline\n\n";/bin/cat $MAIL_FILE) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -f $MA

I just upgraded from my old SGH-T959 to an S3, I used to be able to go into message settings and check read receipt for MMS. Now it seems like in Ice Cream Sandwich there is no option for me to do that? Also, I used to be able to add subject in MMS, now it won't let me and it just sends with (no subject). Does anyone know how to get my read receipts for MMS and how to add a subject?

[ubuntu] OpenLDAP over TLS/SSL 50 weeks 2 days ago

And so it continues...

I am trying to get OpenLDAP configured with TLS (using openssl as opposed to certtool for certificates using own CA).

I've generated a certificate using openssl and place it on the client's machine, but when I try to connect to my server using that certificate, I error mentioned in the subject line back from my server.

Here's what I've done.

The tittle said it all. Currently my procmail recipe are as below:

FROM_=`formail -c -x"From "| awk '{ print $1 }'`

SUBJ_=`formail -c -x"Subject:" | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g'`

:0 *^Subject:.*(60) { :0 fwh | formail | (echo "$FROM_"; echo "$SUBJ_";)

:0 fwb | formail -I ""

:0 myemail/ }

My procmail recipe will only filter out the email that have number "60" it its subjec

I am configuring ~/.msmtprc as below :--

And using following command as below :-- cat << EOF | msmtp -a yahoo imarunsinghal@gmail.com -C ~/.msmtprc Subject:test good EOF

I am able to send mail using yahoo account.
