Description From Olle Mulmo 2003-11-02 11:38:01

When loading a certificate with the RDNs encoded as UTF8Strings (which RFC3280 
specificies as the recommended encoding after December 31, 2003), the 
certificate factory used by CoG (com.claymore....) dies. 

Thus, this bug also affects the GT3.x releases.

SUN, BC and openssl can handle the same certificate just fine. (There ought to 
exist an update to the provider?)

Could you send us such certificate so that we can include it in our tests?

The previous version had a small problem. This one should work for all cases.
