Returns a string containing the ASN.1 distinguished name identifying the
server's certificate. (See below for an example
showing what distinguished names look like.)

This example connects to an SSL server, prints the
server and issuer's distinguished names, sends some bytes,
and reads part of the response:
\begin{verbatim}
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('www.verisign.com', 443))
ssl_sock = socket.ssl(s)
print repr(ssl_sock.server())
print repr(ssl_sock.issuer())
# Set a simple HTTP request -- use httplib in actual code.
ssl_sock.write("""GET / HTTP/1.0\r
Host: www.verisign.com\r\n\r\n""")
# Read a chunk of data. Will not necessarily
# read all the data returned by the server.
data = ssl_sock.read()
# Note that you need to close the underlying socket, not the SSL object.
del ssl_sock
s.close()

At this writing, this SSL example prints the following output (line
breaks inserted for readability):
