I cannot reproduce. The certificate imports fine - I see the correct first and last name in Turba. So I'll send you xdebug output soon which shows how Turba driver damages the name here.

Can you provide an example signed message where the certificate does not send correctly? The message has been redirected to your address. I cannot reproduce. The certificate imports fine - I see the correct first and last name in Turba.

"Sender" is now displayed correctly. Thanks. However the side effect remains: new Turba contact name!surname are malformed after certificate save.. Can you provide an example signed message where the certificate does not send correctly?

I noticed this a few weeks back. The ASN.1 parsing algorithm hasn't been touched in probably 10 years. And most of the work it is doing is to grab completely esoteric information that we don't need (the modulus for the public key? do I care?). The important info is probably validity dates and personal information (name, email), so that's all we should really care about. So switch you using openssl_x509_parse() to parse the certs. I realize it says the API may change, but it has been this way for 10 years so at some point we should use it. So try this and see if it fixes things.

Looking at S/MIME message one can see: The data in this part has been digitally signed via S/MIME. Message verified successfully. Sender: 0 (user.name@example.pl) [View Certificate] The issue is "Sender:0" instead of "Sender: User Name". This is due to Polish diacritic marks in user name or surname which can be found in Common Name of Certificate Owner. 'View Certificate' shows "Common Name: 0". The certificate CA is Comodo/TERENA. The side effect of this is incorrect import of the certificate into Turba addressbook where name or surname are truncated. The certificate with Polish diacritic marks is available upon request.
