asn1 encoding for empty KDC_Options

[Naud, Eric]

Hi All,

The KDC server and the ASN1 parser that I use both report an error with the
following bitstring encoding for the kdc options:
A0 07 03 05 00 00 00 00 00 

It reports the following:
<A0 07>
. . . . [0] {
<03 05>
. . . . . BIT STRING 0 unused bits
. . . . . . '00000000000000000000000000000000'B
. . . . . . Error: Spurious zero bits in bitstring.
. . . . . }

Apparently ASN1 doesn't like null bit string, what should be done in the
case where the KDC-Options MUST NOT be set. Can I just remove it from the aS
request?

Thanks, 

Eric
