RDN Format

The Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) format to build certificate Subject Names.

Adding custom variables

Subject Names support custom variable names using the <variable> syntax – for example:

CN=<var1> <var2> <var3> SampleStaticText

See RDN Variables for how to set the value of each variable in the Jamf portal.

Entrust PKIaaS will only process enrollment requests containing values for all variables.

Configuring the profileid variable for automated renewal

Add the idprofile variable to support automated certificate renewal – for example:

CN=<var1> <profileid>

See RDN Variables for how to set the value of this variable in the Jamf portal.

Adding Jamf preloaded variables

Jamf enrollment requests will always contain values for the following RDN variables. You don't need to inform them in the Jamf portal.

igusername

The ​name of the device user.

iggroup

For example:
