    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.

    I don't know what you mean by "not allowed" as I do see the SAN's when renewing a certificate (and these are included in the CSR as well).
