Incorrect Statement about Web Server Processing of Certificates Corrected (CQ127390)

Symptom:

The Policy Configuration Guide implied incorrectly that different web server products processed x509 certificate data differently before passing it to the Policy Server. The web server only passes such data to the SiteMinder Policy Server for verification.

Solution:

These topics have been corrected. Differences in x509 certificates occur because of the different third-party tools (such as certutil.exe or OpenSSL) used to generate x509 certificates. The Policy Server uses mappings to accommodate different values in the certificates it receives.
