[ietf-provreg] Certificate Validation and Subject Analysis
I received a question from an IESG member about EPP implementations and X.509 digital certificate validation. What are implementers doing with the certificate subject name information when validating the certification path of a client or server? Is the name being examined and/or used for authentication or access control purposes? -Scott-
