To verify that the new attributes are in effect, request a certificate using the manual
enrollment form.
Be sure to enter values for the new attributes (so that you can verify whether they
appear in certificate subject names). For example, you can enter the following values
for the new attributes and look for them in the subject name:
MYATTR1: a_value
MYATTR2: a.Value
MYATTR3: aValue
CN: John Doe
O: Example Corporation

Go to the agent interface and approve your request.

When you receive the certificate, check the subject name. The certificate should show
the new attribute values in the subject name.
Adding Attributes to an Enrollment Form
The steps below explain how to add an attribute (or component) to the Manual enrollment
form:
1.
Go to this directory:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/web-apps/ee
2.
Open the
ManUserEnroll.html
file in a text editor.

assume that the new component you want to add is
DC
and that it follows component
OU
. Here’s how you would add a table row for
DC
:
<tr>
<td valign="TOP">
<div align="RIGHT">
<font face="PrimaSans BT, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="-1">Organization unit: </font>
</div>
</td>
