[jdev] JID and X.509

[Heiner Wolf]

Hi

I am writing a Jabber CA. I would like to sign a certificate which certifies that the holder of the certificate owns the JID, that is embedded in the certificate. I will issue X.509 certificates. Where in X.509 should the JID be stored and how?

Canditates for storing the JID are:
  userID
  id-on-xmppAddr

Any other ideas? 
BTW: What means "id-on-" in id-on-xmppAddr? Why nt just "xmppAddr"?

Next question: how will it be stored:
  user at jabber.org
  jabber:user at jabber.org
  xmpp:user at jabber.org
