caption: Allow certificates issued by local trust anchors without subjectAlternativeName
  extension
deprecated: true
desc: |-
  When this setting is enabled, <ph name="PRODUCT_NAME">$1<ex>Google Chrome</ex></ph> will use the commonName of a server certificate to match a hostname if the certificate is missing a subjectAlternativeName extension, as long as it successfully validates and chains to a locally-installed CA certificates.

        Note that this is not recommended, as this may allow bypassing the nameConstraints extension that restricts the hostnames that a given certificate can be authorized for.

        If this policy is not set, or is set to false, server certificates that lack a subjectAlternativeName extension containing either a DNS name or IP address will not be trusted.
