Description
This property specifies the format
of access information (in form of Object Identifier).
The only
AccessMethod, defined by RFC 2459, is
caIssuers.
The following paragraph is taken from RFC 2459 (Housley, et. al.), part 4.2.2.1:
«This access method is used when the additional information lists CAs that have
issued certificates superior to the CA that issued the certificate
containing this extension. The referenced CA Issuers description is
intended to aid certificate users in the selection of a certification
path that terminates at a point trusted by the certificate user.

Some implementations may support other (custom) access methods.
One of them is
id-ad-ocsp (OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1).
