This article was previously published under Q312344 SYMPTOMS If you enroll for a certificate, the request may be denied
and you may receive the following error message: The
request subject name is invalid or too long. 0x80094001 In addition,
the following message may be logged in the event log:
Certificate Services denied request number because the request subject name is invalid or too long. 0x80094991...
CAUSE This issue can occur if the subject in the Name box matches the name of the certification authority (CA).
The subject's CN is string-compared and binary-compared to
the issuer's name. If the full DN names are available, these names are compared
before a certificate is issued. Comparison does not depend on the actual
encoding of the characters in the subject's name.
