Table 12-25 IssuerAltNameExt Configuration Parameters (Continued)
Parameter
numGeneralNames
generalName<n>.general
NameChoice
Description
Specifies the total number of alternative names or identities permitted in the
extension. Note that each name has a set of configuration
parameters—generalName<n>.generalNameChoice and
generalName<n>.generalNameValue—and you must specify appropriate
values for each of those parameters; otherwise the policy rule will return an error.
You can change the total number of identities by changing the value specified in
this field; there's no restriction on the total number of identities you can include in
the extension. Each set of configuration parameters is distinguished by <n>, which
is an integer derived from the value you assign in this field. For example, if you set
the numGeneralNames parameter to 2, <n> would be 0 and 1.
Permissible values: 0 or n.
• 0 specifies that no identities can be contained in the extension (default).
• n specifies the total number of identities to be included in the extension; it
must be an integer greater than zero. The default value is 8.
Example: 2
Specifies the general-name type for the alternative name you want to include in the
extension.
Permissible values: rfc822Name, directoryName, dNSName,
ediPartyName, URL, iPAddress, OID, or otherName.
• Select rfc822Name if the alternative name is an Internet mail address
(default).
• Select directoryName if the alternative name is an X.500 directory name.
• Select dNSName if the alternative name is a DNS name.
• Select ediPartyName if the alternative name is a EDI party name.
• Select URL if the alternative name is a uniform resource locator (URL).
• Select iPAddress if the alternative name is an IP address.
• Select OID if the alternative name is an object identifier.
• Select otherName if the alternative name is in any other name form.
Example: rfc822Name
