Hi,

the x509v3_config manpage tells me

The name constraints extension is a multi-valued extension. The name should
begin with the word permitted or excluded followed by a ;. The rest of the name
and the value follows the syntax of subjectAltName except email:copy is not
supported and the IP form should consist of an IP addresses and subnet mask
separated by a /.

>From what I understand, nameConstraints is only used for CAs and defines
what ranges this CA may or may not sign for. If I am mistaken, please
disregard this email. If I am not mistaken, it would probably good to
adapt the manpage to be clearer.


Thanks,
Richard
