Issue
confirmEntry: unable to locate or add entry [CN=John Doe, OU=IT Dept, OU=Security, OU=Acme Class3 CA, O=Acme Inc., dc=cert,dc=acme, dc=com]
Cause
dc=cert,dc=acme, dc=com
O=Acme Inc.
OU=Acme Class3 CA
The external publishing of Keon Certificate Authority has been configured as follows:
Base DN: dc=cert,dc=acme, dc=com
Certificate DN: CN,OU,O
A bug in version 6.0.2 allowed certificates with multiple OU values to be published to this point; the bug has now been corrected in KCA 6.5, and the same publishing scheme will value the given error.
Resolution
Base DN: OU=Acme Class3 CA,O=Acme Inc.,dc=cert,dc=acme, dc=com
Certificate DN: CN
This will now mean that only the CN value is used from the certificate and will publish to the OU=Acme Class3 CA part of your tree.
