<p>Alternatively you can specify the distinguished name by creating a
sub-element named dname and populating it with param elements that
have a name and a value. When using the subelement it is automatically
encoded properly and commas ("<code>,</code>") are replaced
with "<code>\,</code>".</p>
<p>The following two examples are identical: </p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<blockquote>
<p><code><genkey alias="apache-group" storepass="secret"
dname="CN=Ant Group, OU=Jakarta Division, O=Apache.org, C=US"/></code></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<pre><code><genkey alias="apache-group" storepass="secret" >
<dname>
<param name="CN" value="Ant Group"/>
<param name="OU" value="Jakarta Division"/>
<param name="O" value="Apache.Org"/>
<param name="C" value="US"/>
</dname>
