Generate a certificate request with API (CSR, PKCS#10)

Question

Hi everybody,
I want to request for a certificate using a PKCS10 File.
I generate this file with this code :
package test;
import sun.security.pkcs.*;
import sun.security.x509.*;
import java.security.*;
import cryptage2.RSACryptor;
import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;
import com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE;
import java.io.*;
public class TestPKCS10
public static void main(String argv[]){
          try{
     // provider
               SunJCE jce = new SunJCE();
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
Security.addProvider(jce);
               // generate KeyPair
     KeyPair pair = RSACryptor.generateKeyPair();
     // get Instance of signature with MD5 algorithm
     Signature dsa = Signature.getInstance("MD5withRSA");
               // get Private Key
               PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
          // init Signature with private Key
               dsa.initSign(priv);
     // sign
byte[] sig = dsa.sign();
               // info for X509 are in X500Name Object
               X500Name x500name = new X500Name(
"Nicolas LEFEUVRE","IN","InTech","Schifflange","Luxembourg","Luxembourg");
               // signer : bind Signature and X500Name
               X500Signer signer = new X500Signer(dsa,x500name);
               // get public Key
               PublicKey publicKey = pair.getPublic();
               // create PKCS10 with public key
               PKCS10 pk = new PKCS10(publicKey);
               // sign and encode the PKCS10
               pk.encodeAndSign(signer);
               // save in file PKCS10_2
PrintStream out =
new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("c:/temp/pkcs10_2"));
catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
The PKCS10 look like this :
-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
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
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
I use Microsoft Certificate Server (a service of Microsoft NT2000 server) to generate certificate, I have this message :
�The request subject name is invalid or too long. 0x80094001 (-2146877439)C�
Any idea ?

Nicolas, i'm not sure but can you try it anyway?
replace Nicolas LEFEUVRE
with Nicolas_LEFEUVRE
There is something about blanks in the Common Name
I'm not sure how or what, but just give it a try!
