I've recently been schooled in this...

A certificate may have many 'subject names'.  They are carried in either
the 'subjectAltName' extension (which can have multiple values in it) or
in the 'commonName' (just one) field.  

The formal rule is that if there are subjectAltName values, you should
not use the commonName.  In practice, since some certificate generation
is sloppy, this may not work... but it's what we should go with for now.
