[cabf_validation] Authorized Port List

Some CAs have very strict rules about where the random number can go and they request the customer to place it there.  If others put it anywhere, then I guess they will need to provide a long list like you did or recommend that we not restrict this to a specific set of ports.

It's not about what CAs want.  It's about what a customer might want.

Ben,

Do you think a CA needs to use all of these ports when attempting to validate a Random value in the .well-known directory on an Authorized Domain?  It seems unlikely Kerberos, sip and many others would be used for that purpose.

I suggest CAs add to the short list in Kirk’s proposal with ones they use and need to be present.  If others need to be added in the future that can be another ballot (i.e., start small and add as needed).

What about this list as something to review?  It’s pulled from a review of this:
