Subject Alternative Name

Demonstrates the usage of the SubjectAlternativeName property to get the certificate SAN (subject alternative name) as XML. Unicode C++

    // Here's a sample of the subjectAltNameXml:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <SubjectAltName>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.4">...</name>
