speaking as regular ol' member A question about wording.
I understand the wording change in 3.1.1 (used to be 3.1.1.1) that results from
the change from multiple ASs in a cert to a single AS in a cert.
But there is also a wording change having to do with multiple routers sharing
the same key pair.
The wording went from:
If the same certificate is issued to more
than one router (hence the private key is shared among these
routers), the choice of the router ID used in this name is at the
discretion of the Issuer.
to:
If more than one
certificate
for an AS is issued (i.e., more than one router gets a certificate
for the AS and hence the private key is shared among more than one
router), the choice of the router ID used in Subject name is at the
discretion of the Issuer.
I don't understand the new wording. If all routers in an AS have different
keys, then there would be multiple certificates issued for the AS, but no
sharing of keys and no confusion over the router ID to be used in each router's
cert. Right?
Apologies if I'm just not parsing the new sentence correctly. The previous
wording was fine with me.
[The certificate request format does not include the subject name anyway, so it
looks to me like the subject name is ALWAYS at the discretion of the issuer.
No?)
