Step 4. Specify The Subject Name For The Certificate - Netscape MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 6.0 Installation And Setup Manual

Step 4. Specify the Subject Name for the Certificate

Specify the subject name, in distinguished name (DN) format, for the certificate to
be requested. Note that you will see this screen only if you chose to generate the
certificate for a new key pair.
You can either enter values for individual DN attributes required to build the
subject DN or build the complete subject DN string yourself. If you enter values for
individual DN attributes, the wizard constructs the subject DN string.
If you want to enter values for individual DN components, provide the following
information:
• Common name—enter the name as appropriate. Except for the SSL server
certificate, the common name format can be a descriptive name of up to 255
characters. For example, you can name the Certificate Manager's signing
certificate as "Root CA for Example Corporation"; similarly, you can name the
Registration Manager's signing certificate as "Registration Authority for North
America". For a SSL server certificate, the name must be the fully qualified host
name of Certificate Management System in this form:
<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>
To determine the machine and domain names, go to Netscape Console, and
locate the CMS host in the navigation tree.
