HTTPS AUthentication Error: No subject alternative names present

[smcelroy]

Hello,

I have a problem down loading a file via HTTPS. I'm getting the following message: No subject alternative names present.

I have found the following work around on the web, but this definitely not a long term solution.


httpsConn.setHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier()
{
@Override
public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
return true;
}
});

Does anyone know the real solution to this? I am using java 1.6 and the certificate has been retrieved from the JScape FTP Server.

Thanks.

One possible reason you may get this error is that the Common Name provided is not correct. When you generate a certificate from Jscape Secure FTP Server it will ask for a common name - try entering "localhost" (I am assuming you are testing this on your local machine and have created a domain called 'localhost').

Best Regards,
