-
DNS — DNS hostname.
-
Department Name — The name of the department in which the end-user works.

-
First Name — The end-user’s first name.
-
Last Name — The end-user’s surname.

Secondary Email — Additional email address for the end-user.

Client certificates issued to end-users of organizations or departments with principal name support enabled (the option is off by default) include a Principal Name, in addition to the RFC 822 name, in the SAN field.
Value
Indicates the equivalent terms used in MS AD or a static value unrelated to MS AD.
When you start typing a value, a list of suggested AD attributes is populated. If a static value is used, it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
Send to CA
Enables attributes to be included (selected) or excluded from (not selected) the transition of the incoming request to the CA.
If a check box is disabled (grayed out), it means that the attribute is mandatory for the CA and must be included in the request. In case of device certificates, all customized attributes are sent to CA.

Adds an SCM attribute to be mapped.
Duplicate attributes are not permitted.
Reset To Default
Resets all attributes and values to the default customized mapping.
Remove
Prevents the attribute from being populated in the Person profile and from being included in the certificate request sent to Sectigo.
Some attributes represent a mandatory detail of the connected Person profile and cannot be deleted.
