Pull request overview
This PR updates Chapter 5 of the Bouncy Castle Migration Guide to document how to generate CA certificates with a BasicConstraints path length constraint (specifically pathLen=0) when migrating to wolfSSL JNI.
Changes:
- Adds an in-place note/example for
BasicConstraints(0)(CA +pathLen=0) alongside the existing Basic Constraints example. - Extends the API comparison table to include the wolfSSL JNI
addExtension(..., pathLen, ...)overload for Basic Constraints. - Adds a new dedicated section with end-to-end Bouncy Castle vs wolfSSL JNI examples for self-signed CA generation with
pathLen=0.
