IssuerAlternativeName Rule
The
IssuerAlternativeName
rule enables you to configure a Certificate Manager
to set the Issuer Alternative Name Extension defined in X.509 and PKIX standard RFC
2459 (see
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt
) in CRLs. This extension
enables binding of or associating alternative identities, such as Internet electronic
mail address, a DNS name, an IP address, and a uniform resource indicator (URI),
with the issuer of the CRL.
The
IssuerAlternativeName
rule enables you to associate the following identities
with a CRL issuer, by including them in the extension:
•
An rfc822Name
•
A DNS name
•
A directory name
•
A uniform resource indicator (URI)
•
An IP address
•
An object identifier (OID)
For general guidelines on setting the issuer alternative name extension in CRLs, see
“issuerAltName” on page 363.
Figure 7-7 shows how configurable parameters for the
IssuerAlternativeName
rule are displayed in the CMS window.
