Ok ... I was looking to do the same stuff and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how. The APIs all talk about generating the key pairs and then generating the cert but not how to sign a CSR. Somehow, quite by chance - here's what I found.
Since PKCS10 represents the format of the request (of the CSR), you first need to put your CSR into a PKCS10Holder. Then, you pass it to a CertificateBuilder (since CertificateGenerator is deprecated). The way you pass it is to call getSubject on the holder.
Here's the code (Java, please adapt as you need):
public static X509Certificate sign(PKCS10CertificationRequest inputCSR, PrivateKey caPrivate, KeyPair pair)
throws InvalidKeyException, NoSuchAlgorithmException,
NoSuchProviderException, SignatureException, IOException,
OperatorCreationException, CertificateException {
AlgorithmIdentifier sigAlgId = new DefaultSignatureAlgorithmIdentifierFinder()
.find("SHA1withRSA");
AlgorithmIdentifier digAlgId = new DefaultDigestAlgorithmIdentifierFinder()
.find(sigAlgId);
AsymmetricKeyParameter foo = PrivateKeyFactory.createKey(caPrivate
.getEncoded());
SubjectPublicKeyInfo keyInfo = SubjectPublicKeyInfo.getInstance(pair
.getPublic().getEncoded());
PKCS10CertificationRequestHolder pk10Holder = new PKCS10CertificationRequestHolder(inputCSR);
//in newer version of BC such as 1.51, this is
//PKCS10CertificationRequest pk10Holder = new PKCS10CertificationRequest(inputCSR);
X509v3CertificateBuilder myCertificateGenerator = new X509v3CertificateBuilder(
new X500Name("CN=issuer"), new BigInteger("1"), new Date(
System.currentTimeMillis()), new Date(
System.currentTimeMillis() + 30 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
* 1000), pk10Holder.getSubject(), keyInfo);
ContentSigner sigGen = new BcRSAContentSignerBuilder(sigAlgId, digAlgId)
.build(foo);
X509CertificateHolder holder = myCertificateGenerator.build(sigGen);
X509CertificateStructure eeX509CertificateStructure = holder.toASN1Structure();
//in newer version of BC such as 1.51, this is
//org.spongycastle.asn1.x509.Certificate eeX509CertificateStructure = holder.toASN1Structure();
CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509", "BC");
// Read Certificate
InputStream is1 = new ByteArrayInputStream(eeX509CertificateStructure.getEncoded());
X509Certificate theCert = (X509Certificate) cf.generateCertificate(is1);
is1.close();
return theCert;
//return null;
}
As you can see, I've generated the request outside this method, but passed it in. Then, I have the PKCS10CertificationRequestHolder to accept this as a constructor arg.
Next, in the X509v3CertificateBuilder arguments, you'll see the pk10Holder.getSubject - this is apparently all you need? If something is missing, please let me know too!!! It worked for me. The cert I generated correctly had the DN info I needed.
