VERIFY_HOST_NAME - UPPS configuration option

Description

The VERIFY_HOST_NAME option specifies whether or not the PeopleSoft server's X.509 certificate host name is verified.

The identity is verified by matching the host specified in the ENDPOINT configuration option URL value to a Common Name field or a Subject Alternate Name field in the PeopleSoft server's certificate.

If verification fails, the session is rejected and UPPS terminates.
