encoding/asn1 ia5 string in AttributeTypeAndValue

[Paul van Brouwershaven]

I'm trying to add a domain component (oid 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25) via the pkix.Name.ExtraNames AttributeTypeAndValue and this works fine except that the string of a domain component must always be an ia5 string according to rfc2247.

My first idea was to create a new sting type and instruct it via the options to ia5 ASN.1 encoding, but that would only work if the value is a struct.

type ia5string string `asn1:"ia5"`

result in a "syntax error: unexpected string literal, expecting semicolon or newline"

Any idea how to change the sting encoding in a AttributeTypeAndValue?

Thanks,

Paul

You could use an asn1.RawValue{Tag: 22, Bytes: []byte(mystring)}.

Sorry, I have been thinking of doing it this way but expected the ASN.1 raw value structure to be marshalled instead of used as raw value.

Should have tested this myself directly, but it works now.

Thanks!
