CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_ALT_NAME_REQUIRED

CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_ALT_NAME_REQUIRED The selected template requires a Subject Alternative Name (SAN), but the request does not contain the required SAN extension or the CA cannot construct it from directory data.

What to check

  • Review the template Subject Name settings to determine whether the SAN must be supplied in the request or built from Active Directory.
  • Confirm that the required DNS, UPN, email, or other directory attributes are present and correct for the requester.
  • Validate every SAN value against the intended service identity; a successful issuance with the wrong SAN can create a serious authentication risk.
