The DISTINGUISHEDNAME parameter specifies the desired distinguished

A distinguished name specifies the physical address of the subject of a
certificate, much like a street address. It consists of a list of values that
uniquely identifies the subject of a certificate.The Certification Authority
may require that a particular distinguished name is used. Otherwise, use
a logical distinguished name. The list of values that specify a
distinguished name are:
❑ common name (cn), organization name(ou), organization (o),
locality (l), and state-or-province-name (st) are all strings
consisting of printable characters with the exception of quotation
marks. To use the following special characters {,=,+<>#;\}
type a\ before the character.
❑ country-name (c) is a string consisting of any printable characters.
Country names are generally given in the form of the two-letter
ISO 3166 code for the country, for example, “us” for USA and “nz”
for New Zealand.
Example
This command sets the distinguished name for Janet Bloggs. She works
