> Some users have reported issues when attempting to connect to an external service which is secured for TLS via a wildcard certificate (i.e. hostname is {{https://example.domain.com}} and the certificate DN contains {{CN=*.domain.com}}. This requires changes in the {{SSLStandardContextService}} to correctly parse the CN and evaluate wildcard entries if present. 
> In addition, as specified by [RFC 2818|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818], certificate evaluation (specifically hostname validation) should prioritize Subject Alternative Names over DN parsing. Chrome 58+ has begun to implement this prioritization, which can cause issues with certificate validation even if the CN matches the hostname but SANs are present but do not include the hostname.
