Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Upon a Client Certificate authentication failure the SECJ6220I
  message provides more information regarding the involved
  certificate.
  
  The SubjectDN and IssuerDN fields are currently reversed, which
  can be confusing for problem diagnosis. Below is an example of
  the SECJ6220I message:
  
  SECJ6220I: Certificate authentication failed for certificate
  with SubjectDN="CN=AdminCN,OU=Certification
  Authorities,OU=Services ,O=admin,C=US" and
  IssuerDN="CN=T1234,OU=WEB-server,OU=Services,O=admin,C=US".  The
  native service results related to the authentication failure
  are: WebSphere service=BBOSSNAP, WebSphere returnCode=33, SAF
  service=IRRSIA00 INTA_CREATE, SAF returnCode=8, SAF product
  returnCode=8, SAF product reasonCode=40.
  
  In the above message, SubjectDN should be "CN=T1234 ... C=US"
  and IssuerDN should be "CN=AdminCA ... C=US"
