chilkat SetSslCertRequirement server validation

Im using activex version 9.5.0.79 with ftps on port 990.

If I use following code snippet (server, logon etc is already set):-

loftp.authTls=0
loftp.authssl=0
loftp.ssl=1 
loftp.RequireSSLVertVerify=1
loftp.SetSllClientCert(loClientCert)
lnSuccess=SetSslCertRequirement("ServerCN", "test.test.com")
lnSuccess=loftp.connect()

It seems to work lnsuccess=1 for the connect even if the server's SubjectCN is "fred.fred.com"

I can of course get the server certificate as per your example

https://www.example-code.com/foxpro/ftp_verifyServerCert.asp

and check it manually but wondering why the requirement wasn't honoured?
