> It appears that when using a cert for {{localhost}} the hostname is resolved to 127.0.0.1, after which the existing SANs in the cert are checked for a matching IP SAN.
> The TLS Toolkit currently generates certs with SANs assumed to be domain names ([TlsHelper.java:305|https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-toolkit/nifi-toolkit-tls/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/toolkit/tls/util/TlsHelper.java#L305], uses GeneralName.dNSName explicitly).  Adding the IP as a SAN with the TLS Toolkit currently adds it as a DNS SAN, which does not resolve the issue.
> Support must be added to allow IPs to be added as SANs.
