Re: "Common Name" of iSeries hosted website?

Using Bradley V. Stones books I have been able to write several web

"Security Alert" message when I use the SSL with the warning being "The
name on the security certificate does not match the name of the site.".
 Verisign says the solution involves the "Common Name" of the
certificate not matching the  configuration of my website.  I am not
exactly sure what value I need to load into the certificate at the time
I purchase it.  Is it what appears in the URL at the exact time I need
the SSL?  The URL at the time I need SSL would look something like
this, "http://999.888.777.666:12345/cgi-bin/checkout";.  Or is simply a
value on the iSeries that needs to match a value in the certificate?

There are no dumb questions right?


That's not a dumb question at all!

Most of the time this means that the common name on the certificate should match the domain name of the web site.

I'm sure Verisign could also give you more in depth details on this.
