New submission from Christian Heimes: The standard subject alternative DNS name contains only a relationship between a cert and a host name. A host may have multiple services like HTTPS web server, IMAP server, mail servers etc. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4985 defines a mechanism to define a relationship between a X.509 cert, a DNS name and a service, e.g. _https.www.example.org for service https on www.example.org.
OpenSSL is not yet able to convert a RFC4985 SRVName to a string. I have a patch, https://github.com/tiran/cpython/commits/feature/ssl_srvname ---------- assignee: christian.heimes components: SSL messages: 276810 nosy: christian.heimes priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Support RFC4985 SRVName in SAN name type: security versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28191> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
