Adding -san_dnsname to generated certs

Looking to see if we can add the capability to add -san_dnsname to the example_auth_files.bat tool used to help generate certificates for secure communication between the client and server.  Right now you can only generate certificates using the actual hostname of the system and they dont work properly if the system being accessed is behind a NAT rule or a proxy.  The ability to add addtional aliases for the server with something like -san_dnsname would allow us to generate a certificate that would work for both internal users directly accessing the server as well as external users coming in through a NAT/Proxy.
