I'm wondering whether it's such a great idea that everybody can see
everybody else's client DN.  Other than that, no objection to the
concept.

Space in that array is at a premium, and again the client DN seems
problematic, in that it's not short and has no clear upper bound.

If you were to drop the DN from the proposed view then I'd be fine
with this.
