Permissible values: rfc822Name, directoryName, dNSName
ediPartyName, URL, iPAddress, OID, or otherName.
• Select rfc822Name if the name is an Internet mail address.
• Select directoryName if the name is an X.500 directory name.
• Select dNSName if the name is a DNS name.
• Select ediPartyName if the name is a EDI party name.
• Select URL if the name is a uniform resource identifier (default).
• Select iPAddress if the name is an IP address.
• Select OID if the name is an object identifier.
• Select otherName if the name is in any other name form.
Example: URL
Specifies the general-name value.
Permissible values: Depends on the name type specified in the
nameType<n> field.
• If the type is rfc822Name, the value must be a valid Internet mail
address in the local-part@domain format; see the definition of an
rfc822Name as defined in RFC 822
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0822.txt). You may use upper
and lower case letters in the mail address; no significance is attached to
the case. For example, testCA@siroe.com.
• If the type is directoryName, the value must be a string form of X.500
name, similar to the subject name in a certificate, in the RFC 2253
syntax (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt). Note that
RFC 2253 replaces RFC 1779. For example,
CN=CACentral,OU=Research Dept,O=Siroe
Corporation,C=US.
• If the type is dNSName, the value must be a valid domain name in the
preferred-name syntax as specified in RFC 1034
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt). You may use upper
and lower case letters in the domain name; no significance is attached
to the case. Do not use the string " " for the DNS name. Also don't use
the DNS representation for Internet mail addresses; such identities
should be encoded as rfc822Name. For example,
testCA.siroe.com.
