The CN in the certificate must be your domain name www.albert-inc.com   Bye, dott.

We use Apache v1.3.12 with Apache-SSL v1.41 and OpenSSL v0.9.5a We created certificates like example in ApacheSSL-FAQ: openssl req -new > new.cert.csr openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out new.cert.key openssl x509 -in new.cert.csr -out new.cert.cert -req -signkey new.cert.key -days 365 When we connect to the HTTPS-site, he said: The certificate that the site 'www.albert-inc.com' has presented does not contain the correct site name. It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this site. If you suspect the certificate shown below does not belong to the site you are connecting with, please cancel the connection and notify the site administrator. How can we resolve this problem ? Thank you a lot, Jacques       --  Professional homepage http://www.albert-inc.com "Hi, my name is Bill Gates and I sell Windows..." "Bonjour, je m'appelle Bill Portail et je vends des fenetres ..."
