RE: Help required for CSR validation

[Wilankar, Trupti]

Hi Daniel,
We had tried removing "NEW" from the header and footer in the Certtool CSR and 
then submitting the CSR. It still gives the same error. 
We even tried adding "NEW" in the header and footer lines in OpenSSL CSR and 
that works. So, apparently VeriSign does not have a problem with the "NEW"
Regards,
Trupti

this is perhaps a long shot, but could it be the "NEW" that VeriSign doesn't 
like?  can you try changing the header and footer lines and re-submitting?
