IC85276: EXTENSION FUNCTION DP:GET-CERT-SUBJECT() STOPS PARSING IF SUBJECT CONTAINS BACKSLASH

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Extension function dp:get-cert-subject() stops parsing if the
  certificate subject contains a backslash ( \ ).  All characters
  following the backslash will be ignored.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Backslash-escaping was not allowed for spaces within names.
  However, external spaces in names caused DataPower to use
  backslash-escaping on these characters, resulting in an
  invalid name. This caused dp:get-cert-subject() and
  dp:get-cert-issuer() to fail to properly display such names.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is available in 3.8.2.15, 4.0.1.13, 4.0.2.9 and 5.0.0.3
