OSA ICC Certificate Management does not allow Certificate Signing Request fields to be amended prior to generation

OSA-ICC Certificate Management function provides the ability to export a Certificate Signing Request via OSA Advanced Facilities.
In its current form this CSR generation process does not allow for the fields in the CSR to amended prior to signing and export from the OSA device.
Certain key fields need to be present and set before they can be signed by our Internal Certificate Authority. With the current support the Common Name is hardcoded as "OsaIccTLSServer" for every OSA-ICC device and the Organization section is not present at all in the request.

By contrast the HMC CSR process allows for the following fields to be set by the user.

Common Name:
Organization:
Organization unit:
Country or region:
State or province:
Locality:
Number of days until expiration:
Email address:
Subject alternative names:


The requirement is for these fields to be accessible in the CSR request for OSS-ICC cards also
