Farah Juma commented on ELY-1587:
---------------------------------

[~mchoma] A reproducer of some sort would be great. You should just be able to use an {{X500PrincipalBuilder}}, as David mentioned.

>             Project: WildFly Elytron
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Certificate Authority, X.500
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.2.Final
>            Reporter: Martin Choma
>            Priority: Critical
>             Fix For: 1.4.0.CR1

> Debugging revealed certificate use {{utf8String}} representation whereas Elytron is expecting {{printableString}}
> In rfc 5280 [1] chapter 4.1.2.4. Issuer there is specified value of subject/issuer can be of 5 types
> {code}
>    DirectoryString ::= CHOICE {
>          teletexString           TeletexString (SIZE (1..MAX)),
>          printableString         PrintableString (SIZE (1..MAX)),
>          universalString         UniversalString (SIZE (1..MAX)),
>          utf8String              UTF8String (SIZE (1..MAX)),
>          bmpString               BMPString (SIZE (1..MAX)) }
> {code}
> However Elytron X500 principal decoder [2] can handle only 2 of them PRINTABLE_STRING_TYPE and IA5_STRING_TYPE (not sure which type of rfc does that match) [2]
> Definitely missing {{utf8String}} (my case). Also revise for backward compatibility {{teletexString}}, {{bmpString}} and {{universalString}}
