[jira] [Updated] (NIFI-3265) tls-toolkit client fails when tls-toolkit server has multiple cn attributes

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3265?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Bryan Rosander updated NIFI-3265:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Ldap hierarchies can have multiple cn attributes. 

tls-toolkit in client mode validates the first CN attribute parsed from the distinguished name against the hostname name of the tls-toolkit server to help avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.  

This check fails when multiple CN attributes are present.
