Hi all – thanks for reading!

 

We are using 389/RHDS as a PKI repository.

 

We are having an issue with the case of DNs in the directory – switching between upper and lower cases. This may be a string issue. Hopefully someone who’s experienced this can help educate me.

 

My main question is simple – how is the letter case of a DN (or root suffix) controlled? And how can this be changed?

 

For example, with a “c=us” root suffix, we have a lab directory with a sub-suffix of “o=Lab,c=US”.

Another directory has the same “c=us” root suffix, but the sub-suffix we’ve created is “o=Entrust,c=us”

 

It may be by scripting the creation of the sub-suffixes that we’ve done this. We’re trying to determine the difference, because we want all directories and therefore certificates issued, to have a c=US country code – capitalized.

 

In the console, the case of a DN or name is displayed all in lowercase when you view the properties. However in the directory tree view, you can see case differences, and the full DN display on the bottom seems to show the actual case.
