Description
attribute included in the certificate request. For
example, $request.requester_email$.
Specifies the general name type for the request
attribute.
• Select RFC822Name if the request-attribute
value is an email address in the local-
part@domain format. For example,
jdoe@example.com
• Select DirectoryName if the request-attribute
value is an X.500 directory name, similar to
the subject name in a certificate. For example,
cn=Jane Doe, ou=Sales Dept, o=Example
Corporation, c=US.
• Select DNSName if the request-attribute
value is a DNS name. For example,
corpDirectory.example.com.
• Select EDIPartyName if the request-attribute
value is an EDI party name. For example,
Example Corporation.
• Select URIName if the request-attribute
value is a non-relative URI that includes
both a scheme, such as http, and a fully

host. For example, http://hr.example.com.
Certificate System supports both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses.
• Select IPAddress if the request-attribute
value is a valid IP address specified in dot-
separated numeric component notation.
For example, 128.21.39.40. An IPv4
address must be in the format n.n.n.n or
n.n.n.n,m.m.m.m. For example, 128.21.39.40
or 128.21.39.40,255.255.255.00. An IPv6
address uses a 128-bit namespace, with
the IPv6 address separated by colons and
the netmask separated by periods. For
example, 0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3, FF01::43,
0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3,FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:255.255.2
and
FF01::43,FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FF00:0000.
• Select OIDName if the request-attribute value
is a unique, valid OID specified in the dot-
separated numeric component notation. For
example, 1.2.3.4.55.6.5.99.
