<p class="MsoNormal">As a CA we “try” to follow the rules for encoding data in SANs, but apparently some browsers do not process IP addresses when they are encoded as iPAddress – they need the IP address to be in the dNSName field. This means we need to put
the same IP address in the certificate twice as a work around<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have other CAs found this to be true?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Will the browsers (at least MS and Google) eventually update their logic to process SAN types of iPAddress?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe these references are out of date and all new versions support IP address correctly now, I’m not sure:<o:p></o:p></p>
