OpenSSL 1.0.1j has no built-in name checks.  It only verifies the
validity of the trust chain, and leaves matching of the server name
to the names in the certificate up to the application.  (OpenSSL 1.0.2
added support for built-in name checks, but these still have to be
enabled by the application).  Therefore, your guesses about the
CN vs. subjectAltName wildcards are not pertinent.

The presented certificate chain is fine, and validates with OpenSSL
1.0.1 (which is End-Of-Life in a few days, you really should be using
1.0.2) against the below root CA:

Your Zip file contains no calls to the OpenSSL library, if your
SOAP toolkit is failing to connect to your server, you'll have
to pursue that with whoever supports that toolkit.
