Certificate/Hostname Match Warning

Post by trebor » Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:09 pm

I built the my openvpn-as server with on the server "originalname" and put in the public address server
and got:

Code: Select all

Certificate/Hostname Match Warning	Hostname u'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' doesn't match certificate domain(s): originalname
So I have renamed my server to a fqdn "realname.isp.co.uk" where:
"realname" is my name
and "isp.co.uk" is my isp's part of my public name.

AND

changed the access server Hostname from the address to the fqdn.

Now i get:

Code: Select all

Certificate/Hostname Match Warning	Hostname u'realname.isp.co.uk' doesn't match certificate domain(s): originalname
how do i change the certificate to to match the fqdn?

O.K.

So I have

uninstalled openvpn-as.

deleted the /usr/local/openvpn directory


re -installed openvpn-as.

and have got rid of the warning.
