Using the Subject Name
Hi all,
I want to know what you're doing more often, if you're creating a certificate.
Do you use the servername as Comman Name (CN = server01.contoso.local) and the subject alternate name as the Alternat name (webserver.contoso.local) or do you use the CN as webserver.contoso.local and de enter server01.contoso.local as SAN?
thanks for input,

Both are ok. there is no rule for the name.

If you use SAN, you need to place all the names here (that should be used within a certificate). For example if you connect to
https://server01.contoso.local and
https://webserver.contoso.local you should include in SAN DNS name for both of them (e.g. server01.contoso.local and webserver.contoso.local).
Kind regards
