Originally created by @EvilJordan on GitHub (Aug 8, 2016).

The flag "grep -A1" on line 412 is not supported in Open Solaris.
If you have SANs, this will be a problem.

Therefore, a simple change can be made and then everything works without a hitch!
I wasn't sure how best to submit this, so I'm just doing it here in the hopes anyone Googling for an answer will find it.

Change:
altnames="$( <<<"${reqtext}" grep -A1 '^[[:space:]]*X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:[[:space:]]*$' | tail -n1 )"
to:
altnames="$( <<<"${reqtext}" awk '/^[[:space:]]*X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:[[:space:]]*$/{print;getline;print;}' | tail -n1 )"

Hi @lukas2511, on Debian with

awk -W version
mawk 1.3.3 Nov 1996, Copyright (C) Michael D. Brennan

compiled limits:
max NF             32767
sprintf buffer      2040

this break things and it always exits with
"ERROR: Certificate signing request contains non-DNS Subject Alternative Names"
(if you have SAN-Certs of course)

Hi @lukas2511 no, i think you missunderstood me - the change you made (changing to awk instead of grep) does not work at the mentioned system...

This is the same error as reported in #351. Apparently installing gawk fixed the error--perhaps different providers of awk yield different results?

Sorry to have caused so much trouble, guys. It looks like the default grep on my system is some gimpy version. Forcing dehydrated to use the non-gimpy version fixed things for me.
