Specifying server name in certificate for TLS connection

[Maciek Makowski]

Sometimes the hostname used to connect to a server differs from the subject name in the TLS certificate presented by this server (for valid reasons). Some JDBC drivers allow for that by providing a connection parameter where the expected name in certificate is specified (oracle.net.ssl_server_cert_dn for Oracle, hostNameInCertificate for MS SQL Server). I can't find a way to specify it for MySQL Connector/J. Is there any way to provide this server name, so that verification with sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY passes?
