[cisco-voip] multi-SAN / server certificates vs individual certs (CUCM/IMP)

[Charles Goldsmith]

Generate a CSR from each server type (CUCM, CUC, UCCX, and each expressway)
and load all hostnames into each server, including your cluster name of the
expressway and the domain name.  At Digicert, load your csr, make sure the
Common name matches the CSR that the server came from.  Once you have one
cluster done, go back into the order and request duplicate, load your 2nd
csr, check the common name and issue the duplicate.  Rinse and repeat for
all systems.

Expressway clusters do not support multi-san, so just duplicate for each
node.
