Research direction

Start by locating the cfssl server log path that emits the "signed certificate with serial number" message. Trace the certificate data available at that point, then determine how hostname and alternative names should appear in the log. Done means the server logs these names alongside the certificate serial number and the behavior is covered by relevant tests.
