Hi Steve,

Just to make sure I understand you:

If the 'name' on the certificate is 'store.domain.com', and the 'serverName'
is 'store.domain.com', then https://store.domain.com will work. However,
https://www.domain.com WILL NOT work even if I have a CNAME in the DNS
record that maps www.domain.com to store.domain.com.

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,
Kory
