Specifies the general-name value for the alternative name you want to
include in the extension.
Permissible values: Depends on the general-name type you selected in the
generalName<n>.generalNameChoice field.
• If you selected 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@example.com.
• If you selected 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=CA
Corp,OU=Research Dept,O=Example Corporation, C=US.
