You really have complete control over what is in the certificate. Of course, whatever choice you make has to work with all the other software that needs to understand your certificate.

You could, for example, place all the information in the subject name. You could encode it all in the CN, or use the other standard fields as well. You can also use the subject alternative name extension exclusively. Or some combination.
