[openssl-users] Subject CN and SANs

[Walter H.]

Hello,

I found several different certificates on the net

some are like this:

CN=example.com
SANs are    DNS:example.com, DNS:www.example.com

and some are like this:

CN=www.example.com
SANs are    DNS:example.com, DNS:www.example.com

does this matter or is one them the preferred one?

Thanks,
Walter
