In section 2.6 of draft-ietf-pkix-impersonation-00.txt the
following words appear:
"To discourage mistakes in this area, this Impersonation Certificate
profile defines that the IC subject (actually its subjectAltName) is
just a pseudo-randomly generated string."
[Carlin's comments/questions]:
If the IC subject name is a pseudo-randomly generated string, how is the
IC found in an X.500 or LDAP Directory? Must it always be passed by the
application to the RP rather than being found in a directory?
