Remarks

If the CertPrincipalName element is not specified, the default is set to msstd:SERVER, where SERVER is the value that is specified in the Server (POX) element. For example, if SERVER is specified as example.com and CertPrincipalName is left blank with SSL (POX) turned on, the default value of CertPrincipalName would be msstd:example.com.

If none is specified, Windows will validate the certificate principal name according to information found in the Principal Names topic on MSDN.
