SSL Scanner To do this, select a policy from the drop-down list labeled Policy, which is located above the Certificate Verification button: The options are arranged under the following tab: They are described in the upcoming section: • Certificate Verification, see 4.3.1 4.3.1 Certificate Verification 4–6 The Certificate Verification tab looks like this: At the top of this tab, there is the following button: Click on this button to inspect the certificate of a particular host. This will open a window, where you can specify the host and retrieve the certificate.
Furthermore, there is this section on the tab: • Certificate Verification It is described in the following. Certificate Verification The Certificate Verification section looks like this: SSL Scanner Using this section, you can configure actions for particular verification tests. After specifying the appropriate settings, click on Apply Changes to make them effective. Verification tests can be configured and performed according to the following criteria: • Common Name or (with wildcard certificates) wildcard does not match host name Compares the Common Name used in a certificate for a host to the host name as given by the corresponding URL. In some certificates the Common Name is represented by a wildcard with shell expressions being used (wildcard certificates). If no match can be established between a regular Common Name and the host name, the verification process looks for a wildcard and compares it to the host name. If this does not lead to a match either, the configured action is executed. One of the major features of trying to achieve security through trusted certificates is to guarantee the identity of a remote server. Therefore, it is imperative that the Common Name of a certificate is identical to the URL of the corresponding Web server. If you allow a connection nevertheless, there is no guarantee that spoofing (a Web site impersonates the Web site you actually wanted to visit) has not occurred. 4–7
