[Ejbca-develop] EndEntity extra information

[John M. <joh...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am using the External RA service (
http://www.ejbca.org/docs/externalra.html).

I want to add extra information for an end entity, like social security
number or other private information that should not appear on the
certificates issued for the entity.

The problem is that the *EditUserRequest*(long requestId, String username,
String subjectDN, String subjectAltName, String email, String
subjectDirectoryAttributes, String endEntityProfileName, String
certificateProfileName, String cAName, String password, int status, int
type, String tokenname, String hardtokenissuername) doesn't have a field to
set the extended information. When inspecting the code for the
*EditUserRequestProcessor
-> MessageProcessr:*

   protected EndEntityInformation
>> generateEndEntityInformation(AuthenticationToken admin, ExtRARequest
>> submessage) throws ClassCastException, EjbcaException,
>> CADoesntExistsException, AuthorizationDeniedException {
>
>         String dirAttributes = submessage.getSubjectDirectoryAttributes();
>
>         ExtendedInformation ext = null;
>
>         if (dirAttributes != null) {
>
>             ext = new ExtendedInformation();

As you can see only the subjectDirAttributes are added to the
extendedinformation.
Is there a way to save the information on the ejbca database ?

The solution I am working on right now, is to create another table on the
RA database, where the Message table is located, where I put extra
information for the UserData table in the EJBCA databasse.
