# You can find a cerficate using any of the following certificate parts:
# "subjectDN" -- The full distinguished name of the cert.
# "subjectDN_withTags" -- Same as above, but in a format that includes the subject part tags, such as the "CN=" in "CN=something"
# "subjectCN" -- The common name part (CN) of the certificate's subject.
# "serial" -- The certificate serial number.
# "serial:issuerCN" -- The certificate serial number + the issuer's common name, delimited with a colon char.
# These are the same certificate parts that can be retrieved by listing certificates on the smart card (or USB token).
# See List Certificates on Smart Card Example
