Summary0000799: Repeated CN in SAN in original CSR and produced in 1st received CRT is removed when CRT is renewed
DescriptionThe original CSR has been following (domain names have been changed into examples):
Subject: CN=*.abc.com
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
DNS:abc.com, DNS:*.def.com, DNS:def.com

The first CRT received from CAcert:
Subject: CN=*.abc.com
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
DNS:*.abc.com, othername:<unsupported>, DNS:abc.com, othername:<unsupported>, DNS:*.def.com, othername:<unsupported>, DNS:def.com, othername:<unsupported>

Note that the bogus information in the SAN has already been reported in issue 0000768.

After renewal of CRT:
Subject: CN=*.abc.com
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
DNS:abc.com, DNS:*.def.com, DNS:def.com

The CN is NOT repeated in the SAN in the renewed server certificate (CRT). Hence, the renewed CRT is useless. Browsing to https://www.abc.com of this example will definitely give an error.
Additional InformationIn my original certificate signing request (CSR) the CN was not repeated in the SAN (see corrected Description).

Meanwhile I made a new CSR where the CN was repeated in the SAN. The first CRT had CN repeated in the SAN resulting in twice DNS:*.abc.com in the SAN. When the CRT was renewed DNS:*.abc.com was only once in the SAN as required.
