CSR Subject Field Example Notes 

Common Name (CN)

server1.example.dod.mil
or
192.168.2.100 

The IPv4 or IPv6 address, or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), assigned to this device.

 

Note

Use of a fully-qualified domain name is recommended because IP addresses can change as the network is redesigned or moves from IPv4 to IPv6, necessitating re-issuance of certificates. Also recent guidance from the JITC PKI lab suggests that IP addresses may not be allowed in the future.
