The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature. There are work-arounds, as mentioned in earlier comments.

The request for DCM to support creating certificates and certificate requests with multiple Subject Alternative Names (SAN) has been a very popular request which resulted in a few different RFEs requesting this enhancement. This request might still get done in the future so simply rejecting it is not appropriate. It is therefore being deferred since it cannot be completed at this time.
It's the first comment for this RFE.
Hi,
Probably I missed but I cant find your comment regarding multiplied SAN def. Could you resend please.
best regards
Multiple SAN's is already explained 4 months ago (see my initial post).
Further I would suggest not to use IBM i as CA (just create the certificate chain on another platform and import it).
Hi,
Thank you for your update.
We are part of financial sector therefore we need meet several security expectation and complete internal-external audits.
Currently we have two important findings.
The server certificate "subject alternate name" need contains multiply DNS or IP entries
The CA should not self-signed, but the DCM cannot create root and subCA certs.
I attached two screens add would be fine issue imilt certs from IBMi DCM. If will we not solve the DCM can used only for import windows created certs.
Attachment (Description): SAN def--- this is my biggest issue what I should solve somehow
Attachment (Description): root and subCA
Additional details are needed regarding your examples. Could you explain more fully what you mean?
The CAAC has reviewed this RFE. More information is needed. Could you please give more details about your examples?

You can enter multiple SAN's separated by comma's if I'm correct.
For the others you need to give more information as it is unclear to me what you mean.
