As we try to use X.509 certificates with our Macs running OS X with
other organizations like the national labs, DOE and DOD, we keep
running into problems with the certificate not working for signatures
or the ability to encrypt back to the sender due to case mismatch in
the RFC822 Name field.
It seems that Entrust, Tumbleweed and Windows XP don't care whether
or not the case matches in the RFC822 name field when compared to the
sender's email address. But with Mac OS X, the case has to match
exactly. So if someone sends from email@hidden and their
certificate RFC822 field is email@hidden, OS X doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get around this problem on the OS X end to tell
OS X to use certificates when the case in the email address doesn't
match?
