Certificate Attributes that Require Custom Mappings

Some common certificate attributes differ slightly according to the third-party tool (such as certutil.exe or OpenSSL) used to generate the certificate. Differences between the following attributes could possibly cause errors in the Test Tool:

Email Address

Represented by E or Email depending on the vendor of the certificate-generation tool.

US State

Represented by S or ST depending on the vendor of the certificate-generation tool.

User ID Number

Represented by UID or UserID depending on the vendor of the certificate-generation tool.

Note: For more information about the actual values used by a specific certificate-generation tool, see the documentation provided by the vendor of your certificate-generation tool.
