Extension-Specific Policy Module Reference
Chapter 12
Policies
511
numGeneralNames
Specifies the total number of alternative names or identities permitted in the
extension. Note that each name has a set of configuration
parameters—
generalName<n>.generalNameChoice
and
generalName<n>.generalNameValue
—and you must specify appropriate
values for each of those parameters; otherwise the policy rule will return an error.
You can change the total number of identities by changing the value specified in
this field; there’s no restriction on the total number of identities you can include in
the extension. Each set of configuration parameters is distinguished by
<n>
, which
is an integer derived from the value you assign in this field. For example, if you set
the
numGeneralNames
parameter to 2,
<n>
would be
0
and
1
.
Permissible values:
0
or
n
.
•
0
specifies that no identities can be contained in the extension (default).
•
n
specifies the total number of identities to be included in the extension; it
must be an integer greater than zero. The default value is 8.
