Appendix A: Certificate Attributes
Profile of the certificate for the Organization and Organization Person domains.
Criteria
When defining the fields and attributes within a certificate, the following codes are used:
V : Compulsory; indicates that the attribute is compulsory and MUST be used in the certificate.
O : Optional; indicates that the attribute is optional and MAY be used in the certificate.
A : Advised against; indicates that the attribute is advised against and SHOULD NOT be used in the certificate.
N: Is NOT ALLOWED.
It is not allowed to use fields that are not specified in the certificate profiles.
For the extensions, fields/attributes are used that, in accordance with international standards, are critical, are marked in the 'Critical' column with 'yes' to show that the relevant attribute MUST be checked using a process by means of which a certificate is evaluated. Other fields/attributes are shown with 'no'.
Naming convention Subject.commonName
The following requirements apply to the CommonName of the Subject field. The main principle is that the TSP is responsible for correct entry of the CommonName. For a correct implementation this entails that the TSP has to be able to check each part that is entered. The CommonName has the following format[1]:
[aristocratic designation] [Full first forename OR nickname] [initials other forenames OR full other forenames] [surname prefixes + surname partner '-'] [aristocratic title] [surname prefixes + surname at birth]
whereby:
- text in bold = compulsory part, style in accordance with Compulsory Identification Act document or presented Local Council Personal Records Database extract
- Italic = compulsory part, choice from two options (full forenames or initials)
- normal = optional part; if present, the style has to be the same as the Compulsory Identification Act document or the presented Local Council Personal Records Database extract
In principle, the TSP decides whether or not optional parts are allowed. If it prefers, the TSP can leave the choice for an option to the subscriber or the party requesting the certificate. If the CommonName becomes too long for the number of characters that are allowed, optional parts have to be omitted (starting with the replacement of other forenames by initials from the last to the first position) until the name fits in the maximum field length.
[1] The presented order is not compulsory, the surname can also be given first followed by forenames/initials.
