Not _the_ RFC. Which RFC ?
Not 2459, there's not a word about domainComponent.
Not 1274, which first defined domainComponent, it did not fit a size
limit.

So that must be some LDAP related RFC, maybe 2377.

You can't expect openssl to enforce respect of every LDAP RFC around, it's
not a LDAP product basically, and in fact it does not respect quite a few
things you could find in the newer PKIX RFC.

If you need that size limit, do it in your application.

Or provide a patch for that, and the OpenSSL development team will decide
if it's useful to include it or not.
