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 is also compared ? We have exchanges with a company actually presenting a certificate " *.company.com ". So actually, we authenticate the server with " *.company.com " in the Authenticate Name field of the SSL server profile. They will soon modify their certificate with CN " company.com " and put " *.company.com " in the SAN part of the certificate. How the SSL server profile will handle this ? SSL will fail because the CN of the certificate is not equal to the Authenticate Name field in the profile ? Or SSL will be ok because the SAN field handle a name equal to the Authenticate Name field of the profile ? Thank you. Fred326Views0likes1Comment
