Handling a multi-value attribute question

[David Bantz]

He doesn't currently have displayName, so currently needs to combine givenName and sn
in a certificate of completion.   displayName would be an alternative to use in 
something like a certificate with the person's name.  Presumably the certificate is
not issued to just "Peter" or "Jane" but  "Peter Smith" or "Jane Mason" - the sort 
of string that displayName provides.
