How must I format IP Address for SubjectAlternativ

Question

I use BouncyCastle to generate certificats. Now I want to add some SubjectAlternativeName, just like:

...
ArrayList namesList = new ArrayList();
namesList.add(new GeneralName(GeneralName.dNSName, "*.test"));
namesList.add(new GeneralName(GeneralName.iPAddress, "127.0.0.1"));
namesList.add(new GeneralName(GeneralName.rfc822Name, "[e-mail]"));
GeneralNames subjectAltNames = new GeneralNames(new DERSequence((GeneralName[])namesList.toArray(new GeneralName [] {})));
new_cert.addExtension(X509Extensions.SubjectAlternativeName, false, subjectAltNames);
...

Program executes without exception, but then I cannot see "IP Address". With openssl I see:

...
DNS:*.test, IP Address:<invalid>, email:[e-mail]
...

What is the correct form of IP address in call of GeneralName(GeneralName.iPAddress, ...))?

Answer 1

I think it was problem with very old BouncyCastle library. Application used version 1.39 from year 2008. So I upgraded BC to version 1.56 (December 2016) and rewrote application because BC changed some API. Now I see:

DNS:*.test, IP Address:127.0.0.1, email:[e-mail]
