Single quote character ' in CN breaks JavaScript code when using RSA Certificate Manager
If you try to approve cert req with an extension profile that includes AltSubjectName then choose 1 altname and then choose "otherName" as the type, the following JavaScript error appears:

Line : 647
Char: 43
Error: Expected ';'
Code: 0

Line : 367

operation. Assigning extension value
Resolution
This issue is resolved in a hot fix for RSA Certificate Manager 6.6. Contact RSA Security Customer Support to obtain RCM 6.6 build 302 and higher. KCA will then accept the single quote character ' in the DN, and no JavaScript error will appear.
