Hmm, this reminds me of Google Chrome enforcing at least *one* dot be used in a HTTP cookie domain part. Otherwise it does not accept the cookie. For this purpose I have in my /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localhost localhost.localdomain Does your example above mean that you expect at least two dots? That would be way too strict. Also note that TLS client implementations today don't care about the subject-DN's CN attribute if the FQDN or IP address used by the client to establish the connection already matched one of the subjectAltName values. AFAIK TLS client implementors are even encouraged to rather ignore the misused CN attribute (which is IMO the right direction today). => strictly requiring the CN attribute to contain a FQDN at all is IMO wrong if subjectAltName already matched > "subjectAltName" means *alternative* name. It is totally correct for libldap to reject > your cert with a hostname mismatch when the cert cn is incorrect. Human language can cause misunderstandings. So maybe I misread your statement. But I'm reading your sentence that the CN must always match or at least be a FQDN even if a subjectAltName value already matched. Ciao, Michael.
