Altsubject name question

[Butters, Kevin]

Ok. How about a follow-up question? I am using an IPsec client, and I want
to add the Altsubject name attribute. Would it be expressed under the terms
of an RFC 822 name?

To put something which is not a plain distinguished name (which is
the type of SubjectName). AltSubjectName can be anything including
FQDN and IP addresses

-eric




Two, is Altsubject name = = Common Name?
