AI Summary

The bug reports that an Izenpe EV certificate had multiple issues relative to Mozilla/CA/B Forum Baseline Requirements for EV certificates. Kurt Roeckx listed problems including the absence of localityName, SAN entries containing email and DirName that are not allowed by the BR requirements, and a policy extension user notice explicitText using VisibleString where UTF8String is required (or IA5String may be used). Izenpe acknowledged the issues and attributed them to a specific Spanish “sede electrónica” certificate mandated by law, stating they were working with the ministry and planned changes tied to eIDAS. Izenpe later stated they updated their EV certificate profile to include localityName, remove DirName from SAN, and use UTF8String for the policy extension user notice, but said production issuance would wait until the Spanish Ministry verified the new profile. The bug was marked RESOLVED with resolution FIXED after Izenpe reported that its officeEV certificate profile had been updated and pointed to a last issued certificate for review.
