Since the behavior of automatically adding common name (CN) as a DNS subject alternative name (SAN) in the issued certificate varies by certificate authority, it is appropriate for the test to pass whether the CN is added or not. This test was too restrictive and began failing when the Venafi Cloud built-in CA behavior changed from automatically including the CN as a DNS SAN to requiring it to be explicitly specified in the certificate request.
