SYMPTOMS
Certificate requests from Macintosh clients that use the Netscape Navigator browser are not handled properly by Certificate Server. The Navigator certificate request (KeyGen) uses a sign and encoded challenge string; Certificate Server requires that a request attribute exactly match this string.



CAUSE
The problem occurs because Macintosh clients do not interpret the &quot;\n&quot; character properly. &quot;provePequalsNP\r\n&quot; is specified for the attribute in the .asp page, but &quot;provePequalsNP\r\r&quot; is submitted.
