[sidr] multi-value distinguished name question

[Stephen Kent]

Tim Polk asked David Cooper (a NIST colleague) to check on the 
question that was raised during our meeting yesterday morning. The 
question was whether, if we require Subject and Issuer names in X.509 
certs to be either just a CN or a CN plus a serialNumber (as a set), 
one could use commonly available CA software generate certs. The 
answer is that both OpenSSL and an NSS can do this. OpenSSL required 
some configuration effort, but David provided the details of the 
config params in his response!

I will check with someone who knows about OpenCA, to see what they say.
Steve
