So just to check, our radius server has a cert with a CN=radius.york.ac.uk
and its SubjAltNames are

  X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
                DNS:radius.york.ac.uk, DNS:www.radius.york.ac.uk

so you're saying that my radius server also needs to have vpn.york.ac.uk as
a SubjAltName in it as well ?

If so, really really don't want to do that
