In fact spaces in a commonName attribute value are in accordance with X.520 practice.
Hi!
I believe that, but when printed two spaces look very similar to one
space,
and as I guess every space is significant, you can probably have "Joe
OneSpace"
and "Joe TwoSpaces" as RDN.
Read RFC4518, don't guess.
You mean?
"For instance, the caseIgnoreMatch matching rule may be used to compare whether the commonName attribute contains a particular value without regard for case and insignificant spaces."
"The caseIgnoreMatch matching rule [X.520], for example, is simply defined as being a case-insensitive comparison where insignificant spaces are ignored."
What's an "insignificant space, BTW."?
AFAIK leading or trailing spaces are insignificant when matching.
Ciao, Michael.
