Hello Christian, i guess in the policy section of your CA you should - besides entries like
countryName = optional stateOrProvinceName = optional organizationName = optional organizationalUnitName = optional domainComponent = match commonName = supplied emailAddress = optional these and entry for your uid. I got a similar problem with the dc= (the domainComponent) which was not shown in the certificate subject.
