Error description

Upon a Client Certificate authentication failure the SECJ6220I
message provides more information regarding the involved
certificate.

The SubjectDN and IssuerDN fields are currently reversed, which
can be confusing for problem diagnosis. Below is an example of
the SECJ6220I message:

SECJ6220I: Certificate authentication failed for certificate
with SubjectDN="CN=AdminCN,OU=Certification
Authorities,OU=Services ,O=admin,C=US" and
IssuerDN="CN=T1234,OU=WEB-server,OU=Services,O=admin,C=US".  The
native service results related to the authentication failure
are: WebSphere service=BBOSSNAP, WebSphere returnCode=33, SAF
service=IRRSIA00 INTA_CREATE, SAF returnCode=8, SAF product
returnCode=8, SAF product reasonCode=40.

In the above message, SubjectDN should be "CN=T1234 ... C=US"
and IssuerDN should be "CN=AdminCA ... C=US"
