Pehuen,
Usually that part does not have to do with the CA, it has to do with the creation of the CSR (Certificate Signing Request). (Unless it is a self signed certificate like your CA itself)
When creating the request for a server you should put the full domain name as the "Common Name" that should solve the problem.
If you need it for the CA certificate itself, then my guess is that you should set these parameters in the openssl config file used when creating the self signed cert:
[req_dn]
0.commonName = www.yourname.com
[csp]
dn = www.yourname.com
Hope this helps

Hello, I wonder if this this is how I get help for SSL. We'll see. I'm argentinian, so if my spelling is wrong I beg your pardon.I've got the following question for you:I've created my own CA and my own program to create certificates, my server has STunnel and the client authentication works just fine. Never the less I've got the next problem, It says when I want to enter the site:"The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site." If I click that I want to enter anyway it works perfectly again, but that error is draining all credibility I could have. Looking for help I've found that I have to match the name of the certificate with the URL of the page, or the IP, but I don't know how to do this before creating the certificate. Am I explaining myself? I'm kind of sure that my certification creator program has to use the server IP or the web's real name URL to create certificates allready prepared, but I don't know how.I'll thank you any answer.Pehuén Rodriguez
