DNs, RDNs, AVAs, and DER coding

1993-06-15 19:11:00
I think every issue relating to DNs, RDNs, AVAs, and DER coding have
been resolved collectively by various people except for one nagging
detail.

From what mtr says, and I have no reason to doubt him as it
matches my original understanding, all the types in the AVAs of
a single RDN must be unique.

This means the subject DN in the certificate below is bad but no
one from RSA has confirmed it.

(It also means taht I have to update my self-signed generation code
to handle the more general multiple AVA per RDN cases...   :-< )

subject DN = {C=US},{O=RSA Data Security, Inc.},
               {OU=Beta,OU=Commercial Certification Authority}
