Ture.
It's already been replaced with a 2048 bit key. :-) I was just grasping at straws last night trying to figure out what was wrong.

You did not mention the

            X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
      DNS:helpdesk.cis.uab.edu

When this is present the CN is ignored.


Really? That seems like a bug. There's a reason why it's called subjectAlternativeName, and not subjectPreferredName. Nevertheless, as you say, putting both names is a reasonable work-around.
That also explains another weird behavior I was seeing, so it is good to know about this.
