6.2.1 - SSL certificate-inspection and Subject Alternative Names (no deep inspection)

Is the Fortigate default certificate-inspection profile able to see SAN names in an SSL cert or does it even attempt to see them?
 
Thanks,
Brian

    Yes it does look for SNI. I ran into an issue with the default certificate-inspection profile assigned to a policy in proxy-mode: SSL negotiation failure because SNI does not match CN. Looking at the certificate for the website in question, I can see that the CN is listed in SNI, but it's the last entry.
     
    You can resolve by using flow-based inspection. Also, you can edit the certificate-inspection profile on the CLI:
     
    config firewall ssl-ssh-profile
     edit custom-cert-inspection
      config ssl
       set inspect-all certificate-inspection
       set sni-server-cert-check disable
      end
     end
     
    I found that disabling sni-server-cert-check on full-tunnel SSL VPN policies resolved the issue without having to switch to flow-based inspection.
