It can be due to policy. For example, one of our customers has defined
certificate profiles. These define the exact contents of the issued X.509
certificate. Remember, when you are developing a custom request, you are
replicating the functionality produced by certificate templates (with
additional flexibility of course).
Bottom line, you put in the subject name formats and extension required by
both the applications and your policies.
