> As of Chrome 58, the browser will only use the *SubjectAlternativeName*
> entries to determine hostname verification, rather than the *CN*. This is
> specified in RFC 6215 [1], TLS hostname verification must attempt to use the
> SAN entries first and may only use the CN entry if no SAN entries are
> available.
> Chrome takes this a step further [2]:
> {quote}
> During Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections, Chrome browser checks to
> make sure the connection to the site is using a valid, trusted server
> certificate.
> For Chrome 58 and later, only the subjectAlternativeName extension, not
> commonName, is used to match the domain name and site certificate. The
> certificate subject alternative name can be a domain name or IP address. If
> the certificate doesn’t have the correct subjectAlternativeName extension,
> users get a NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID error letting them know that
> the connection isn’t private. If the certificate is missing a
> subjectAlternativeName extension, users see a warning in the Security panel
> in Chrome DevTools that lets them know the subject alternative name is
> missing.
> {quote}
> As this will cause issues for users who do not manually provide a SAN when
> generating their certificates using the TLS Toolkit, the toolkit should be
> modified to automatically include the provided CN as a SAN entry, in addition
> to any manually-provided SAN entries.
