[cabf_validation] [cabfquest] BR 7.1.4.2.2.j Other Subject Attributes

[Doug Beattie]

I don't think we archive emails to the Questions list, so I wanted to get this on the record within the archives because it's an important topic.

Based on this response, it confirms that CAs can include any Subject Attribute they need as long it's verified by the CA (presumably via documented rules in their CPS) while EV currently prohibits any Subject Attribute not specifically listed in sections 9.2.1 through 9.2.7, except perhaps OU.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the CA/B Forum. You are correct. 7.1.4.2.2.j applies to Subject attributes other than those listed in .a through .i, and the Baseline Requirements permit CAs to include Subject attributes that are not defined in 7.1.4.2.2 (Note that different rules apply to EV).

Best regards,

Dean Coclin

Subject: [cabfquest] BR 7.1.4.2.2.j Other Subject Attributes

Hello people.

The title of subsection 7.1.4.2.2.j of BR is "Other Subject Attributes".

I think the word "Other" means this article DOES NOT apply attributes listed from 7.1.4.2.2.a to 7.1.4.2.2.i, namely CN, O, givenName, surname, streetAddress, L, ST, postalCode, C nor OU.

Am I right?
