[cabfpub] Intermediate certificate names

[Jeremy Rowley]

Thanks Wendy.  We should provide input since, especially with EV, CAs run into that limitation often.

Have you all seen that they are considering removing all upper bound limits on DN attributes as errata to RFC 5280?
I've seen some pushback, but I don't know if CABForum would want to weigh in on that discussion.

Thanks,
   Wendy

The maximum length for the O field is 64 characters.

That might help; but are there limits on the permissible length of the O field that this might run into? I seem to vaguely recall we had problems with this when we were discussing d.b.a. rules.
