Security Alert: The Name of the Security Certificate Is Invalid or Does Not Match the Name of the Site

  1. Default Security Alert: The Name of the Security Certificate Is Invalid or Does Not Match the Name of the Site

    I just purchased and setup an SSL certificate for an MS OWA server.
    The certificate works great for me from multiple computers I have
    tested it on. I can go to the secure page with no errors or pop-ups at
    all.

    But, a client who is trying to access OWA gets this error: Security
    Alert: The Name of the Security Certificate Is Invalid or Does Not
    Match the Name of the Site

    Here's the strange part. When he views the certificate, it's not the
    certificate I installed at all!! It's for a different domain
    completely, one I've never heard of before: www.lbow.com
    Of course the name doesn't match, it's not the correct certificate!


    It seems his IE is trying to use some other certificate it has
    somewhere. Does anyone know why/how this could happen?? Any way to
    "clear" the certificate information in IE? I've tried clearing the
    cookies and files, but didn't help.

    Mmm.. funny. Is the client really browsing your site?
    have you test it locally and it is working at local site at least?

  3. Default Re: Security Alert: The Name of the Security Certificate Is Invalid or Does Not Match the Name of the Site

    Thanks for your reply, Bernard, but we got it figured out. The client
    was typing in the URL incorrectly. He was putting in
    "https://www.domain.com/exchange" instead of
    "https://mail.domain.com/exchange". I'm still unsure why that other
    certificate was coming up on our domain, but it doesn't matter now.

    Thanks!!
