Akenti Identity Certificate

A document signed by a trusted Certificate Authority that contains the Distinguished Name (DN) and the public key of a user. Akenti may use any of the following DN components to identify a user:

CN (common name)
the users name
OU (organizational unit)
Unit within the organization to which the user belongs
O (organization)
the organization to which the user belongs. Normally a CA will only issue certificates for one organization.
C (country)
the country in which the organization exists.
