Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8 - AGENTS GUIDE Agents Manual page 49

• State. Narrows the search by state or province.
• Country. Narrows the search by country; use the two-letter country code, such as US.
NOTE
Certificate System certificate request forms support all UTF-8 characters for the
common name and organizational unit fields. The common name and organization
unit fields are included in the subject name of the certificate. This means that the
searches for subject names or those elements in the subject name support UTF-8
characters.
This support does not include supporting internationalized domain names, such as in
email addresses.
After entering the field values for the server to match, specify the type of search to perform:
• Exact searches for certificate subject names match the exact components specified and contain
none of the components left blank. Wildcards cannot be used in this type of search.
• Partial searches for certificate subject names match the specified components, but the returned
certificates may also contain values in components that were left blank. Wildcard patterns
can be used in this type of search by using a question mark (?) to match an arbitrary single
character and an asterisk (*) to match an arbitrary string of characters.
NOTE
Placing a single asterisk in a search field means that the component must be in the
certificate's subject name but may have any value. Leave the field blank if it does
not matter if the field is present.
5. After entering the search criteria, scroll to the bottom of the form, and enter the number of
certificates matching the specified criteria that should be returned.
Setting the number of certificates to be returned returns the first certificates found that match the
search criteria up to that number. It is also possible to put a time limit on the search in seconds.
6. Click Find.
