[Smcwg-public] Enterprise RAs methods for validation of mailbox authorization or control

Hi all,

 

Section 1.3.2.1 Enterprise registration authorities restricts the mailbox
control validation methods:

*	Organization-validated or sponsor-validated: Section 3.2.2.1 (domain
based) or Section 3.2.2.3 (operator of server).
*	Mailbox-validated: Section 3.2.2.2 (email challenge).

 

The restriction of profile and validation method seems to prohibit:

*	Enterprise RAs to issue mailbox-validated certificates based on
domain validation (3.2.2.1) or as operator of server (3.2.2.3).
*	Enterprise RAs to issue sponsor-validated certificates based on
email challenges (3.2.2.2) - probably less common.

 

Is this an intentional restriction? Should we re-visit this topic?

 

Christophe
