Is there a way to auto-populate the subjectAltNames extension with user's email address
A window or page for adding email address in the subjectAltNames extension is visible when an administrator is in the process of approving an end-entity user certificate
Resolution

If you have the "Subject Alternate Names Extension" in the certificate profile, it will prompt you for the email address during vetting a certificate request. If you do not include the "Subject Alternate Names Extension" in the profile, but have the Jurisdiction Certificate Attributes "Include Subject Alternate Names Extension" value set to YES for Email attribute, the email address in the subjectAltNames extension will appear in the certificate without interaction during the approval process.
