Table 14-8 IssuerAlternativeName Configuration Parameters (Continued)
Parameter Description
Specifies the total number of alternative names or identities permitted in
numNames
the extension. Note that each name has a set of configuration
parameters— nameType and name—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 numNames
parameter to 2, <n> would be 0 and 1.
Specifies the general-name type. Select from the following:
nameType<n>
• 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.
Specifies the general-name value.
name<n>
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.
• If the type is directoryName, the value must be a string form of
X.500 name, similar to the subject name in a certificate. For example,
CN=CACentral,OU=Research Dept,O=Example
Corporation,C=US.
• If the type is dNSName, the value must be a valid domain name in
the DNS format. For example, testCA.example.com.
