             Summary: Broker reports EXTERNAL mech. not supported if CN is empty
                 Key: QPID-5815
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5815
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++ Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.26
         Environment: Linux/RHEL 6.
            Reporter: Irina Boverman
            Priority: Trivial


If EXTERNAL sasl mechanism is used for client authentication, the broker will extract the CN from the client's ssl certificate and use it as an 'authId' for sasl authentication. In a case when the client certificate is malformed (for example, a subject of the form "C=FR,O=SUNGARD,OU="CLEARVISION CN=GLKXV_GLKXVALBBDBGEN1""), the broker reports that it does not support EXTERNAL mechanism (this is a valid behaviour). However it would be helpful to see a message explaining why EXTERNAL mechanism is not available.
