[Openswan Users] X.509 key usage

Hello list,

I wondered if OpenS/WAN refers to the keyUsage and extendedKeyUsage-Fields in X.509-certificate-extensions. I found nothing in readme.X509, and on an archived mailing-list-entry from FreeS/WAN it said, just the DN and the Public Key are used. (I hope, the signature gets proofed, though.) Since this mail was from somewhat 2001, I wondered, if the keyUsage gets checked by OpenS/WAN.

Thanks for any answers,

Gregor
