SSL city request

[RichardF]

I use as city Nieuw-Vennep, that is the city it's name
but I get this error

Cannot Execute Your Request
Details

City must only contain letters, spaces and/or periods

we have city names in the Netherlands with dashes

Enter Nieuw Vennep instead of Nieuw-Vennep. Dashes are not allowed in SSL certificates. DirectAdmin can't change this.

Dashes are allowed in domain names.
I have created certs on windows servers where it is no problem using dashes

I have certificates where the subject shows
S=Noord-Holland
I can't find anything about it in rfc 5280

so I am curious where it is defined which characters/symbols are allowed or not.

I've added the dash character "-" for the next release of DA.
Pre-release binaries should be available in about 20 minutes if you want to try it now.

Thanx John,
Not in a hurry so I'll wait for the next update.

Strange that I did find the length of the fields but not the character set. A lot of links to other protocols like x.500 520 etc making it impossible to find..I guess plain ASCII is always good.

I still can't use hyphen in State/Province names

Added to state/province. Pre-release uploading in 20 minutes.
