I have an ldap server set up with a SSL certificate such that the CN=hostname.fqdn. In the same certificate I have created a SubjectAltName with several DNS aliases. With everything configured properly in my ldap.conf file, I can make TLS connections to my ldap server as long as I use the hostname that matches the CN, but if I change my connection to use one of the aliases in the SubjectAltName I get:

ldap_start_tls: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
additional info: TLS: hostname does not match CN in peer certificate

An openssl dump of the certificate yields the following in the SubjectAltName section:

Certificate:
Data:
CN=Proton.fas.fa.disney.com
X509v3 Extended Key Usage:
TLS Web Server Authentication
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
email:dns:faldap,dns:fatestldap,dns:faldap.fas.fa.disney.com,dns:fatestldap.fas.fa.disney.com


X509v3 CRL Distribution Points:

Can anyone help me figure out what is going wrong? This is the same with both version 2.2.13 and 2.3.32 of openldap. Does the SubjectAltName format look correct?

Your subjectAltName appears to have encoded an email extension with the string "dns:....." as its value, instead of an actual dns extension. So basically, your subjectAltName is wrong.
