SIM - Hostname mismatch

Pete Camp — Tue, 08 Jun 2004 11:07:20 GMT

I am in the process of setting up and configuring a new SIM server.
Everything is going all ok, but just one "glitch" (So far!)
When I open ie and type in https://Servername:50000 I get a java dialog box open. It states that there is a hostname mismatch and that the hostname in the server security certificate does not match the name of the server.
Hostname of the URL = Servername
Hostname from the certificate = Servername.domain.com

I have tried tried adding a new server certificate with just the servername, and you can't edit the certificate with the.domain.com so not sure what to try now

Many Thanks In advance

Click on Options -> Security -> System Link Configuration and you can use either just the system name, or the full DNS name..

Pete:

You need to generate a new certificate to get one with the short host name. Options --> Security --> Server Certificate --> New

Edit the defaults that come up to eliminate .domain.com
