Question

Redundant subject field verification for PKI-Users on the FortiGate 7.4.7

Hello everyone,


I have noticed that there is a redundant entry in the Administration Guide (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.7/administration-guide/443323/dialup-ipsec-vpn-with-certificate-authentication). It appears that the subject field of the certificate can be verified in two ways: once with "set subject" and once with "set cn" along with "set cn-type". However, "set cn" and "set cn-type" can only be configured via the CLI.


Is there a specific reason for this redundancy?
