    hi all,

     

    is there limit for the Subject Alternative Names that can be included in a certificate?

    Public CAs usually limit the number of SANs you can put on a certificate based on the type (and price) of the certificate.  I once had to generate a certificate with about 100 SANs (don't ask) from a Windows CA and it worked perfectly.  At the time I was not able to find a documented limit.

    I'm still looking for a reference, but I thought I just saw something while reading up on ISA SP1 about 100 entries?  I don't know if a limit is certificate specific or an universal, RFC-defined limit.

    Here is the official supported 3rd Party Certificate provider list

    Some of them offer up to 150 names in the SAN
