openssl errors creating password for certificate authority (CA Request)


I opt to use a challenge password for sending a CA request. When I incorporate the challenge password I get the following error:

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:1234567890
Error adding attribute
1896:error:0D0BA041:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_STRING_set:malloc failure:asn1_lib.c:381:
1896:error:0B08A041:x509 certificate routines:X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data:malloc failure:x509_att.c:317:
problems making Certificate Request

If I don't use the challenge password attribute everything works fine.

Is it recommended to use a challenge password for CA requests? Your valuable imput is grately appreciated.

Thank you.
