Re: Issues in LDAP schema IDs

My concern is a CA may support dual key pairs for a single EE. One key pair

be
separated from digital signature usage. Therefore, a CA may issues two or three
certificates to an EE at a time. If the attribute is restricted to be single
valued, how
do these certificates be stored in the directory?

I can confirm that this is actually happening in Italy, where many legal-value CAs are giving to their customers three certs:
- one for non-repudiation
- one for authentication
- one for encryption


So support for multiple certs per each user should be added to the schema.
