Commit 2ab8867 ("MINOR: ssl: compare server certificate names to the SNI
on outgoing connections") introduced the ability to check server cert
names against the name provided with in the SNI, but verifyhost was kept
as a way to force the name to check against. This was a mistake, because :
- if an SNI is used, any static hostname in verifyhost will be wrong ;
worse, if it matches and doesn't match the SNI, the server presented
the wrong certificate ;
- there's no way to have a default name to check against for health
checks anymore because the point above mandates the removal of the
verifyhost directive
This patch reverses the ordering of the check : whenever SNI is used, the
name provided always has precedence (ie the server must always present a
certificate that matches the requested name). And if no SNI is provided,
then verifyhost is used, and will be configured to match the server's
default certificate name. This will work both when SNI is not used and
for health checks.
If the commit 2ab8867 is backported in 1.7 and/or 1.6, this one must be
backported too.
