OpenSSL: what is the difference between organizationName and
unstructuredName?
I'm trying to use OpenSSL to generate a certificate signing request. I
noticed that when going through the prompts, OpenSSL by default asks for
"organizationName", and then later asks for "unstructuredName". The
prompts for both indicate that the 'company name' should go in them.
The question is: why are we being asked twice? What is the difference
between these 2 entries?
In my setup, I will be issuing CSRs on behalf of other companies - ie.,
these companies are asking me to get and instal the certificates for them.
I am suspecting, therefore, that perhaps I should be putting my own
company name in one of these fields, and the client's company in the
other.
Can anyone clarify?
