OpenSSL x509 Purpose flag "Any Purpose" What is this?
- by Nick
Looking at the details of a certificate using the following:
openssl x509 -noout -text -purpose -in mycert.pem
I find a bunch of purpose flags (which I've discovered are set by the various extensions attached to a certificate).
One of these purpose flags is "Any Purpose". I can't seem to find ANY documentation on this flag and why or why not it is set.
Do any of you know where I can find more information on this purpose and what it means?
Thanks,
