Not possible to disable new TLS extensions for TLS 1.2 connections

Hi Amir,
It should be rare now the a TLS vendor cannot ignore unknown extensions.

The error message encapsulated in the certificate does not sound right
to me. Is it caused by the absence of SNI extension?
Did you have a test case that I can reproduce the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
