The certificate being recieved to guarantee trust relates to a domain other than that it was served from I think.

So say you have gone to https://www.onetwothree.com and it presented a security certificate for 123.com you would see this error.

Sketchy I grant you but web security isnt really my strong point, I just have this vague recollection...

It's a dns thang

Most likely you're accessing it from an IP address rather than it's dns name and the certificate responds with the dns name. If you know the site, either ignore the certificate message and continue, or install the certificate to get rid of it.

I think that's what you want to know

We run SBS and get this message all the time - for a different reason.

So you've installed a certificate from a trusted authority. It will be linked to a particular domain...

e.g. www.projxweb.com

But if you have multiple domains pointing at the same server...

e.g. www.aballantine.co.uk and www.projxweb.com

You will get this message if you access the web server from the domain that is not associated with the certificate.

A common cause of this is registering the certificate using the machine name:

e.g. http://myserver

instead of the internet domain.

Hope this helps.
