Configuring an entity DN
A certificate is the binding of a public key and the identity information of an entity, where the identity
information is identified by an entity distinguished name (DN). A CA identifies a certificate applicant
uniquely by entity DN.
An entity DN is defined by these parameters:
• Common name of the entity.
• Country code of the entity, a standard 2-character code. For example, CN represents China and US
represents the United States.
• Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the entity, a unique identifier of an entity on the network.
It consists of a host name and a domain name and can be resolved to an IP address. For example,
www.whatever.com is an FQDN, where www is a host name and whatever.com a domain name.
• IP address of the entity.
• Locality where the entity resides.
• Organization to which the entity belongs.
• Unit of the entity in the organization.
• State where the entity resides.
NOTE:
The configuration of an entity DN must comply with the CA certificate issue policy. You must determine, for
example, which entity DN parameters are mandatory and which are optional. Otherwise, certificate
requests might be rejected.
To configure an entity DN:
