Dogtag cert policies config is very unfriendly.  Without having
confirmed, I'm pretty sure you need something like:

PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.enable=true
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.policyId=1.3.6.1.4.1.6.1.1.1.1
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers.num=2
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers0.CPSURI.enable=true
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers0.CPSURI.value=http://url.com/
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers1.usernotice.enable=true
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers1.usernotice.explicitText.value=Some text Here
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers1.usernotice.noticeReference.noticeNumbers=1
PoliciesExt.certPolicy0.PolicyQualifiers1.usernotice.noticeReference.organization=Company text Here

Each policy qualified can be either a CPS URI or a user notice, so
if you want both, you need two qualifiers.  This is not a
restriction in Dogtag, rather it is part of X.509 standard:


   Qualifier ::= CHOICE {
           cPSuri           CPSuri,
           userNotice       UserNotice }

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
