My guess the server name should be the CN on the cert.
CN=webserver.whatever.com

Subject: Certificate name check failing?
Hi,
I have problem with Netscape giving me a warning that the certificate that
is
presented by a server (Netscape Enterprise) doesn't have the
server's name in it.
I do not understand where the server name should go. When I create a key
pair
I am giving exactly the name of server (rather the name of server's host
machine) on the prompt to type in the certificate name. But (as I
understand)
that is only used to create the key database with the same name
(name-key.db).
When I create the certificate requets there is no field to put the name of
the
server.
So the questions are:
How Netscape does tne certificate name check? Where it is looking for the
server name (in the body of the sertificate??)? How to avoid this problem?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Olga Antropova.
