Nov 06, 2018Authentication name in server ssl profile and SAN field
Hello
In a SSL server profile, the FQDN name in the field 'Authenticate Name' is compare only to the CN field of the certificate ? Or the SAN (Subject Alternative Names) field of the certificate...

Nov 06, 2018I believe the Authenticate Name only currently applies to the CN value. Irrespective of the Help section description, it's okay to leave this option empty. The most important options here are,
- Server Certificate - set to require or ignore (the server certificate).
- Trusted Certificate Authorities - a CA bundle used to validate the server certificate if the above is set to require.
- Expire and Untrusted Certificate Response Controls - determines what to do if the server certificate is expired or untrusted.
