Sorry for the repost, but I didn't get any responses, therefore I wanted to post the problem again. Thanks to everyone for your help and assistance in solving this problem:
I opt to use a challenge password for sending a CA request. When I incorporate the challenge password I get the following error:
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:1234567890
Error adding attribute
1896:error:0D0BA041:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_STRING_set:malloc failure:asn1_lib.c:381:
1896:error:0B08A041:x509 certificate routines:X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data:malloc failure:x509_att.c:317:

Here's another problem if I try to add the Optional Company Name for CA request using openssl:
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:FooBar
Error adding attribute

If I bypass both Extra Attributes, the creation of the CA request works perfectly.
Is it recommended to use a challenge password for CA requests? Your valuable imput is grately appreciated.
