This is the Rn — the relative name, the single path segment that, appended to the parent object's Dn, produces the full Dn for one stored fragment of a certificate/key used to secure the connection to the external VMM. It's the naming key a management tool actually walks the tree with to reach that key fragment, distinct from the full Dn which also encodes everything above it. For instance the Rn segment might simply be 'keyinst-2', which only becomes the full path 'sys/vm-mgmt/vmm-platform-VMware/keyring-vcenter-trust-ring/keyinst-2' once it's appended to the parent Dn 'sys/vm-mgmt/vmm-platform-VMware/keyring-vcenter-trust-ring'.
