In <literal>verify-full</> mode, the host name is matched against the
certificate's Subject Alternative Name attribute(s), or against the
Common Name attribute if no Subject Alternative Name of type dNSName is
present. If the certificate's name attribute starts with an asterisk
(<literal>*</>), the asterisk will be treated as
a wildcard, which will match all characters <emphasis>except</> a dot
(<literal>.</>). This means the certificate will not match subdomains.
If the connection is made using an IP address instead of a host name, the
IP address will be matched (without doing any DNS lookups).
