Allow wildcard or mutiple entries, on an RDN entry in the controller.xml file

When configuring a collective, in the controller.xml file, we specify a collectiveCertificate rdn value - to allow members and the collector to talk to each other.
We user RACF to create and store our certificates, where many of the fields are pre-populated, and, at the moment, we cannot change them. 

As we have multiple members joining the collective, all with different certificate labels, we have had to code  "rdn=Devices" value - which is essentially on all certificates created by the CICS Team - and not just the ones for Liberty Collectives.

It would be good if we could either wild card the certificate name (as many of our certs follow the same naming standard, with subtle differences).
Or, allow us to code multiple "RDN=" values in the controller.xml file.

    Correction - we code "collectiveCertificate rdn="OU=Devices""
