Hi all,
a customer of me wants to generate a Certificate Signing Request at Cisco Secure ACS version 5.1.
Certificate Subject is
CN=de00salsec115r1,OU=SEC,OU=Servers,OU=INF Administration,OU=\+DE,DC=emea,DC=dir
The Certificate would be generated but the backslash is missing like this:
CN=de00salsec115r1,OU=SEC,OU=Servers,OU=INF-Administration,OU=+DE,DC=emea,DC=dir
I found at the configuration guide that only alphanumeric characters were allowed:
Certificate subject entered during generation of this request.
The Certificate Subject field may contain alphanumeric characters.
The maximum number of characters is 1024.
This field should automatically prefixed with “cn=”.
Please, could anyone confirm that backslash is not allowed for the certificate subject.
Thanks and kind regards
Holger

Hi Holger,
That's correct, the subject name should contain only alphanumeric characters:
As a further note, since I see you are running ACS 5.1, please be sure of having patch 5 or later installed, in order to avoid the known bug CSCti68031:
Since you mentioned that the certificate (so the CSR too) gets generated, I'd guess you are already on this patch (or later).
Regards,
Fede
