Determining the Distinguished Name of Certificate

How Can We Help?

< Back

When installing XMPro Identity Service or utilizing the SSL functionality of an IOT MQTT Listener or Action Agent, you are required to enter the subject name of the certificate you are supplying. The subject name of a certificate is a comma-delimited list of attributes that describe the user, organization, or entity that the certificate was issued to, and can be extracted from the certificate itself.

In Windows, open the command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the certificate, then execute the following command. This example assumes that the certificate is called certificate.pfx.

certutil -dump certificat.pfx

If asked for a password, supply it.

Search the resulting information for the “Subject” field. This value is the subject name of the certificate.

In this case, the subject name will be:

“CN=XMPro Signed Certificates, O=XMPro Pty Ltd, L=Sydney, S=New South Wales, C=AU”
