Fix the valid client certificate check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The commit edef33d introduced
additional checks on the certificate subject. The issue is that the
order of the groups and organizational units are not consistent, so it
was causing the addon-framework to generate several CSRs with many
coming back as invalid.

This takes the approach of sorting the strings before doing the
comparison.
