Ok, so maybe we have generated certificates in a bad way :)

See the attached python script that generates these :)

Yes because I was testing the IP: and DNS: and email= SAN's and my code
showed it only looped over the first one.

So it seems that this function would do everything I need. I'll see
about changing my certificates to have one SAN section and then
confirm if it can pick up the DNS name or email address from CN
and SAN.

Thanks,

Paul
