Hello,

openssl s_client -connect hostname.domain.com:443 does not verify that
the certificate matches the hostname. (i.e. hostname.domain.com should
match either the CN of subject, or in one of the subjectAltNames)

Without such verification any web site owner who has a certificate can
mount a man-in-the-middle attack against any other web site.

Thanks,

Alain
