From e505f1e86874acfd98826d64c53bf2ddfd9c1399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Caswell Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 14:34:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Don't allow an empty Subject when creating a Certificate Misconfiguration (e.g. an empty policy section in the config file) can lead to an empty Subject. Since certificates should have unique Subjects this should not be allowed.
