Re: Are there DName encoding samples?

Gindin-san

 Thank you very much.
 I was led into wrong way missing a simple example.
I know little RFC 2253, and my processor produces as:
<X509IssuerName>CN=J. Random Nerd\,  O=Dewey\, Cheatham\, \+ Howe\,
              L=Nowhere\, ST=AK\, C=US</X509IssuerName>
 It's my misunderstanding.
