Enrollment Request Fields

An enrollment request contains some or all of the following fields:

Field Content

Subject The person or system that uses the certificate.

Issuer The CA or other entity (jurisdiction) from whom the certificate is being

requested.

Subject and Issuer consist of a specific-to-general identification hierarchy: CN,

OU, O, L, SP, and C. These labels and acronyms conform to X.520

terminology, and they echo the fields on the Administration | Certificate

Management | Enrollment screen.

CN Common Name: the name of a person, system, or other entity. This is the

lowest (most specific) level in the identification hierarchy.

For the VPN 3002 self-signed SSL certificate, the CN is the IP address on the

Ethernet 1 (Private) interface at the time the certificate is generated. SSL

compares this CN with the address you use to connect to the VPN 3002 via

HTTPS, as part of its validation.

OU Organizational Unit: the su/jointfilesconvert/81249/bgroup within the organization (O).

O Organization: the name of the company, institution, agency, association, or

other entity.

L Locality: the city or town where the organization is located.

SP State/Province: the state or province where the organization is located.

C Country: the two-letter country abbreviation. These codes conform to ISO

3166 country abbreviations.

Public Key Type The algorithm and size of the public key that the CA or other issuer used in

generating this certificate.

Request Usage The type of certificate: Identity or SSL.

MD5 Thumbprint A 128-bit MD5 hash of the complete certificate contents, shown as a 16-byte

string. This value is unique for every certificate, and it positively identifies the

certificate. If you question a certificate’s authenticity, you can check this value

with the issuer.

SHA1 Thumbprint A 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the complete certificate contents, shown as a 20-byte

string. This value is unique for every certificate, and it positively identifies the

certificate. If you question a certificate’s authenticity, you can check this value

with the issuer.
