If the extension exists in a certificate, it limits the certificate to the uses specified in
it. If the extension is not present, the certificate can be used for all applications
except object signing.
The value is a bit-string, where the individual bit positions, when set, certify the
certificate for particular uses as follows:
•
bit 0: SSL Client certificate
•
bit 1: SSL Server certificate
•
bit 2: S/MIME certificate
•
bit 3: Object-signing certificate
•
bit 4: Reserved for future use
•
bit 5: SSL CA certificate
•
bit 6: S/MIME CA certificate
•
bit 7: Object-signing CA certificate

CA Certificates and Extension Interactions
Netscape recommends that all CA certificates contain the
basicConstraints
extension, as this is the standard way to identify a CA certificate. In addition, to
ensure support for Navigator 3.x, CAs should also use
netscape-cert-type
.
These two extensions can interact with each other. The following table describes
what different combinations of the two extensions mean.
