Hi, I have an HTTP server named thttpd, on ARM platform. I use stunnel to redirect http requests to https, with openSSL secure certification. I have created two seperate certificates for my server and client (he re client is a web browser). Now my question is, when I create .crt certificate signed by CA, via openSSL, it asks me for Common Name. What I understand by this field is if I set common name as www.example.com, than when my https services are enabled on my server, I should be able to connect to my server by typing www.example.com as a URL, in web browser's tab (here, this web browser becomes client) . But this doesn't happen in my case. If I type common name (Given as a parameter, while creating certificate) in web browser, it shows me an error of " Can't Display This Page ". Can you help me on what should be this common name field, while creating certificates for both server and client?
