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"
