As kind of an extension of defect
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112940 we need the ability to issue
and request certificates with the SubjectAltName extension set.

It would be great to be able to do this this using certutil as well.
Assigned to Bob for evaluation.

Ever confirmed: true
We'd need the necessary APIs to add SubjectAltName extensions to the certificate 
request, and to issue certs with that extension, PLUS the ability to use these 
with certutil.
CERT_CreateCertificateRequest seems to have the ability to pass in SECItems as 
attributes, but I'm not sure if this would be the proper way to pass 
SubjectAltName extensions.
Also, my limited understanding of the code in CERT_CreateCertificate leads me to 
believe that extensions/attributes are not copied when the certificate is 
created from the request.
Set target milestone 3.4.1, priority P1.

Bob, could you evaluate this enhancement request?
Priority: P1 → --
Target Milestone: 3.4.1 → 3.5
This will require some research. I have never really looked at the cert request
code, though the cert request API have been mostly replaced by the CRMF/CMMF
code. It may be the we want to reprioritize this as a CMMF function.

Set priority P1.

Moved to 3.6.
Whiteboard: [cert]
Target Milestone: 3.5 → 3.6
Moved to Future for now.  Will consider this
for NSS 3.7.
Target Milestone: 3.6 → Future
Target Milestone: Future → 3.7
Moved to target milestone 3.8 because the original
NSS 3.7 release has been renamed 3.8.
Target Milestone: 3.7 → 3.8
Fix checked in.
NOTE: it does not generate cert requests with the multiple DN, but it can take a
cert request and build a cert with the multiple DN's int the cert.
