Subject Alternative Name

Subject Alternative Name (SAN) is an alternative means of verifying the certificate against the server hostname. SAN allows the use of multiple DNS names or IP addresses, separated by commas, for a single server. The certificate can be verified even when there is access from different network routes, or the same certificate can be used on multiple servers.

The Subject Alternative Name field is empty by default. A tooltip shows the required format. The following is an example of the format for a SAN entry:

DNS=cbprotection.example.com, DNS=cbprotection.example.local,IP=10.0.8.123

You can use wildcards in a DNS name.
