Fixes #3918
This PR retains the current behavior as the default, which is to expect the
common_name
supplied while generating the cert. But, a flag can be flipped on the role to makecommon_name
field optional.I did not see anything that is making the
alt_names
mandatory. Unless I am missing something, there is nothing to be done w.r.t makingalt_names
optional. Also, the issue was not assertively mentioning the need to make changes toalt_names
. Please provide feedback on thealt_names
behavior and I'm happy to make any changes regarding that.
