${cert_subject}
The cert subject V8.11 and later
As a part of the STARTTLS form of authentication and
encryption, certificates are usually exchanged. This
${cert_subject}
macro is assigned the distinguished name (the DN) of
the certificate presented by the other side. That
value might look like this:
/C=US/ST=California/L=Berkeley/O=Sendmail.org/CN=smtp.sendmail.org/
See The access database and
Local_Relay_Auth
on page 213 for an illustration of one use for
${cert_subject}. See Macro Xtext Translations on page 795
to find how and why the value in this macro
undergoes special translation.
${cert_subject} is
transient. If defined in the configuration file or
in the command line, that definition can be ignored
by sendmail. Note that a
$& prefix
is necessary when you reference this macro in rules
(that is, use $&{cert_subject}, not ${cert_subject}).
