Re: Can ID be different than SubjectAltName field of theCertificate



Slave,

We agree that there should be strong bond between the information on the certificate
and the
ID payload, even so, this does not mandate that they be identical. The way in which you
bind the ID payload to the appropriate
SPD entry should be a local policy matter. For example, your local policy could bind
foo.bar.com to a certain ip address or
you could use Secure DNS to do the binding.

Regards,
Tamir & Moshe.
