Description Rich Megginson 2009-03-02 16:37:55 EST

step 7

The subject DN cannot have two "cn" values.  This causes some clients to become confused.  For best results, use only 1 "cn" in the subject DN, make the "cn" the leftmost value, and make sure the value of "cn" is the fully qualified host and domain name of the server machine for the server you are generating the cert.

cn=ldap.example.com, cn=Directory Server <- BAD
ou=Directory Server, cn=ldap.example.com <- BAD
cn=ldap, ou=Directory Server <- BAD
cn=ldap.example.com, ou=Directory Server <- GOOD
