Hello,
When I enable sslVerifyServerCert in server.conf under [sslConfig], I am seeing the following errors. From where does it understands that there is an IP address mismatch? If it trying to resolve the CN mentioned in the certificate?
09-11-2023 11:40:01.284 +0300 WARN X509Verify [1034989 TcpChannelThread] - Server X509 certificate (CN=searche.test.local,OU=NIL,O=TEST,L=Loc,ST=Sta,C=NIL) failed validation; error=64, reason="IP addrsearche mismatch"

I figured out why this was throwing the error and posting here the solution just in case if it help someone.
I was sure that I did not use any IP's while configuring the instances, however, I just noticed that when I used cluster manager URI in server.conf for searchhead mode, it picked the IP address of peers (default behavior I think) instead of fqdn. The cert SAN did not had IP address in it. To overcome this, I added the below line in server.conf in each cluster peer and it resolved the issue.

register_search_address = FQDN
