EnableCommonNameFallbackForLocalAnchors

Allow certificates issued by local trust anchors without subjectAlternativeName extension
Last updated October 8, 2024
Deprecated

When this setting is enabled, Google Chrome will use the commonName of a server certificate to match a hostname if the certificate is missing a subjectAlternativeName extension, as long as it successfully validates and chains to a locally-installed CA certificates. Note that this is not recommended, as this may allow bypassing the nameConstraints extension that restricts the hostnames that a given certificate can be authorized for. If this policy is not set, or is set to false, server certificates that lack a subjectAlternativeName extension containing either a DNS name or IP address will not be trusted.
