Hi-
I have a doubt with GET ATTRIBUTES operation. Please help me
understand the same.
Will GET ATTRIBUTES operation returns NAME attribute when
queried? I have checked with IBM, HP and Cryptsoft servers, all are not
returning NAME attribute though request specifies NAME attribute in it.
Thanking You.

Templates can indeed have multiple instances
of the Name attribute. You
can use to any of these Names when referring
to the Template in Create,
Register etc. operations. However, since
Names are required to be unique
within a key management domain (see Section
3.2 in the spec), a conflict
between two Templates (i.e., two Templates
having the same Name(s)) is
not possible.
