RDN == Relative Distinguised Name AVA == Attribute Value Assertion An RDN consists of an unordered set of AVAs (but most frequently an RDN is made up of exactly one AVA, e.g. CN = "John"). A Distinguished Name (DN) is made up of a sequence of RDNs. That man page could probably do with some work to reduce the jargon. I'll submit a pull request. Thank you!
