Well yeah, ssl certs are validated based off the hostname you're connecting to. They can't really provide a "valid" certificate since they have no way of knowing where their software will be running.

So back goes the AP. So you didn't do the research on what you bought and what it would take to set it up, but somehow this "headache" is on Ubiquiti? Ok.
