Issue/Introduction

There is a need to have the list of RDNs supported by Top Secret. RDNs are used to tell the difference between two certificates. Certificates may have some of the RDNs identical, but not all.

Resolution

Recognized relative Distinguished Names (RDNs) are supported in the SUBJECTN field of the TSS GENCERT command. They are:

C, CN,DC, E, L, M, O, OU, PC, S/SP/ST, T, STREET , and UID.

Note: You can only use one out of the three prefixes S, SP and ST in the TSS GENCERT command.

SSL supports the following RDNs:
