!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an "old" [Internet Draft] describing "A String Representation of General Name"
The [PKIX] working group has created the GeneralName [RFC 2459] to support more name types than just the distinguished name specified by OSI.
[GeneralName] is encoded in [ASN.1]. When a [GeneralName] is communicated not using a [ASN.1] encoded [protocol] (e.g., in a configuration file), there is a need to have a string representation of [GeneralName].
[{$pagename}] specifies a [string] format for representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used names, whilst being able to represent any [GeneralName]. This specification also recognizes that [GeneralName] needs to be communicated to humans, in which case the encoding has to be user friendly for display purposes, for e.g. on a business card or in an email message.
The list of valid name types and the corresponding name values with both application and display encodings are given below:
%%zebra-table
%%sortable
%%table-filter
