Sorry for the late answer. Was this pre 17.0 or 17.0 ?  There was a unicode fix in 17.0 the accidentally seems to have been lost in the release notes. If you still have problems could you please send us a sample cert that fails to speed up the process.<br>

In the public_key application, decoding of attributes in x509<br>
certificates does not always decode to a string as indicated in the<br>
documentation.  The documentation says that the value of commonName (and<br>
several other attributes) should be:<br>
<br>
special_string() = {teletexString, string()} | {printableString,<br>
string()} | {universalString, string()} | {utf8String, string()} |<br>
{bmpString, string()}<br>
<br>
... however when I decode a cert I see a utf8String coming out as a<br>
binary instead of a string()....<br>
<br>
[{'AttributeTypeAndValue',<br>
   {2,5,4,3},<br>
     {utf8String,<<"Daniel Goertzen">>}}],<br>
<br>
... and typer shows several other non-string representations (unicode<br>
characters represented by 4-tuples):<br>
<br>
-spec dec_X520CommonName(_) -><br>
{'bmpString',[byte() | {byte(),byte(),byte(),byte()}] | {byte(),binary()}} |<br>
{'printableString',[byte() | {byte(),byte(),byte(),byte()}] |<br>
{byte(),binary()}} |<br>
{'teletexString',[byte() | {byte(),byte(),byte(),byte()}] |<br>
{byte(),binary()}} |<br>
{'universalString',[byte() | {byte(),byte(),byte(),byte()}] |<br>
{byte(),binary()}} |<br>
{'utf8String',_}.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, encoding does not accept unicode strings (list of chars).  The<br>
example below crashes.<br>
<br>
     Subject = {rdnSequence, [<br>
         [#'AttributeTypeAndValue'{<br>
             type  = ?'id-at-commonName',<br>
             value = {utf8String, [16#4e09|" string starting with a<br>
chinese symbol"]}<br>
         }]<br>
     ]},<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I assume that the documentation is right and the decoded representation<br>
should be "list of characters".  Instead internal representations are<br>
coming through.<br>
