Creating certificate for device uses hostname, not FQDN

Creating certificate for device uses hostname, not FQDN

When using the system web page to generate the PKCS #10 Certificate request, the certificate that is ultimately generated contains only the hostname, instead of the FQDN.

After installing the generated certificate, when I browse to the devices home page using the FQDN in the address bar I get a security alert from the browser since the certificate name does not match the FQDN name in the address bar.

Is there a way I can have the certificate request generated using the system's FQDN?

I am using SIM 4.2 and Proliant Servers with the 7.10a PSP on them running Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.

Thanks in advance.
