+kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
+ <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
+ It implements:
+ The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
+ an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
+ A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
+ in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
+ of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
+ have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
+ form client_123.
