Is the Serialized Id field OpenVPN specific ?

[nelson777]

Hello,

I'm using openvpn to establish a VPN on a software I'm developing in Pyhton. I'm using PyKCS11 and M2Crypto to extract certificate information, but I can't find a way to read "Serialized ID" field. Is this field OpenVPN specific ? How can I read this field from a certificate ou token slot ?

the serialized ID is retrieved using the pkcs11 helper library; it is probably best to simply call openvpn using '--show-pkcs11-ids' to retrieve the list of IDs as openvpn sees them . That way it will be forward compatible.
