Chapter 1 Configuring Digital Certificates
Configuring Digital Certificates
• The ASA and the AnyConnect clients can only validate certificates in which the X520Serialnumber
field (the serial number in the Subject Name) is in PrintableString format. If the serial number
format uses encoding such as UTF8, the certificate authorization will fail.
• Use only valid characters and values for the certificate parameters when you import them on the
ASA.
• To use a wildcard (*) symbol, make sure that you use encoding on the CA server that allows this
character in the string value. Although RFC 5280 recommends using either a UTF8String or
PrintableString, you should use UTF8String because PrintableString does not recognize the
wildcard as a valid character. The ASA rejects the imported certificate if an invalid character or
value is found during the import. For example:
ERROR: Failed to parse or verify imported certificate ciscoasa(config)# Read
