Normally one would presume that the trust point is shared and thus can be
excluded from the path.  I do not believe that a problem would exist if a
reference to the trust point existed, as long as that did not constitute a
trust decision.

Hello,

 

we are not sure about the interpretation of the following sentence in
RFC3125 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3125/?include_text=1).

 

CertRefReq and CertInfoReq, p.9

“References for full cert path up to a trust point required”

 

Does it mean that  the trust point should be included or excluded in the
path?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,
