Field Types in Policies

When you create rules on the Policies page, use Types to control how Distributed Issuer handles each field in a certificate signing request.
The following table describes available Types on the Policies page.
TypeDescription
IgnoredUse when you don't want a field to appear in issued certificates, whether requested or not.
ForbiddenUse for fields that you want to exclude from certificate signing requests.
OptionalUse for fields to allow in the issued certificate as long as the value complies with the policy. If not specified, the Default Value is used.
RequiredUse when you want to require a field in every certificate signing request. If selected, client requests must match the Default Value.
LockedUse when you want to enforce a value that clients can't override and to prevent additional values from being added. The Default Value is the enforced value.
