My personal property description:

The com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname property in ServiceNow ensures that the hostname in the SSL certificate matches the server's hostname for secure connections. Set to true: Adds security by verifying the server's identity. Set to false: Disables hostname verification, which is less secure and should only be used for testing. For better security, keep this property set to true.

AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname` is used to ensure the verification of the hostname and the certificate chain presented by remote SSL hosts. When set to true, this property helps protect against Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks by confirming that the hostname in the URL matches the hostname in the SSL certificate. This property takes precedence over the `com.glide.communications.trustmanager_trust_all` property, which, if set to true, would otherwise trust all SSL certificates without verification. Enabling `com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname` enhances security by enforcing strict SSL certificate validation. This property is crucial for maintaining secure communications between ServiceNow instances and external systems.
