Can the Subject view also show the SAN?

chris2511 commented 1 year ago

The SAN is not part of the subject, but part of the Extensions. You probably knew this and wanted to suggest a UI improvement?

daniejstriata commented 1 year ago

Yes Please. It will make my life a little easier if the UI can show both.

Maybe you rather want to enable the SAN-column in the certificate-view to have all SAN and common names at a glance: https://hohnstaedt.de/xca-doc/html/common-actions.html#column-handling

I was rather thinking that only showing the CommonName under the subject might be technically correct, it is not the only value of importance. Showing the SAN here would've made sense to me as I have a couple of certs with all pertinent info in the SAN and the CommonName being of little interest to me. From here I could take a screenshot to share with my users to show the domains or IP entries for the cert.

Adding the extra column does help though.
