Perhaps I should give some more informations about OpenCAs object 
handling. An object looks as text like follows

-----BEGIN HEADER-----
option=value
...
-----END HEADER-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
PEM-encoded cert
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
and here follow perhaps a private pkcs#8 key

If you need another searchable attribute then you have to add the 
attribute to the header and we have to fix the database modules. If you 
only need the attribute as data then we only have to modify the code 
which handles the header. Today this code is really statical but we can 
made it more dynamic if necessary.
