Allow wildcard in CN with SANs

In 5.6 rel; 1/2017 ?

Comodo will document their known workaround for EZProxy, but is still investigating the feasibility of adding this feature.

TBD

Pending discussions with Comodo

High Priority


Item

Status

Target

Improve custom notifications (addl. fields, events, documentation)

 Pending discussions with Comodo

Verified that this was mis-labeled. It was flagged by the community survey review group as a 'nice to have' and never received additional detail.

insufficient clarity to proceed - no longer in scope.

Improve authentication options for API

 

(passwordless)

DONE, documentation has been updated, need to publicize

Q3, 2017

Pending discussions with Comodo

Additional API fields/functions

(note: how does this work with the ‘InCommon Cert API’ item?)

:

  • external requester
  • option to omit optional DN components (street, locality)

Will not be fixed; workarounds provided.

Workaround for 'external requester' is to call "updateRequesterExt" after the initial request by injecting the external requestor(s).

Workaround for omitting optional components is to create a separate DRAO with the exact field requirements desired.
