3.2.3.1. X.509 Certificate Names

A certificate name behaves as a string, and contains a DN in the following format (also known as one-line format):

/RDN=value/RDN=value/.../RDN=value/

The word RDN stands for relative distinguished name. For example, the DN cn=Root CA, ou=CA Group, o=Foo Ltd, l=Bar, st=Foobar State, c=US becomes /C=US/ST=Foobar State/L=Bar/O=Foo Ltd/OU=CA Group/CN=Root CA/

Warning

The format and representation of certificate names may change in future releases.
