SYMPTOMS

If you configure a Key Management (KM) server to issue X.509 V3 certificates only, the server may still issue V1 certificates when e-mail clients request them. This problem is known to occur with the Microsoft Exchange client versions 4.0 and 5.0, and Microsoft Outlook 97, but the problem can occur with any e-mail client that only uses V1 certificates.

CAUSE

When an e-mail client requests a certificate from a KM server, the server does not verify that the request is compatible with its current configuration.
