Hi Guys,
In the specification for AIA (section 4.2.2.1), there can
be multiple AccessDescriptions.
Can there be > 1 AccessDescription with the same accessMethod?
People have asked us a few times if this is legal or not. I think
this should be allowed and so specified in Son-of-2459. The
rationale for this, is people want fault tolerance, where they
want to specify the location of multiple OCSP responders, so that
if one is down, you can go to another.
Does this make sense?
Regards,
Ambarish
