I am not 100% sure, but I have read that underscores can exist in domain names: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2180465/can-domain-name-subdomains-have-an-underscore-in-it
In another thread of this newsgroup, I saw a list of certificates to be revoked because of the underscore issue. And they had underscore domain names in it, either in CN or DNS-Names. So, I wonder, what's the whole forbit-underscore-certificates about? If there are domains out there with underscores, why do you want exclude them from being able to use TLS? Am Samstag, 22.
