Cause
This issue occurs when the case of the Common Name (CN) of the certificate in the Connection Server does not match the case of your Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). There is case sensitivity.
For example:
The CN on your certificate specifies VIEWSERVER.company.org.The FQDN of you Connection Server is viewserver.company.org.The Connection Server certificate details display "Issued to: VIEWSERVER.company.org".
Please note the Case Difference in the above example between your certificate CN and Server FQDN.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, the FQDN of your Connection Server and the CN of the certificate that is in use must match in case. The View Client SSL hostname CN validation functions in a case-sensitive manner.You would need to reissue the cert to ensure a match . See related information below for instructions.Alternatively, you must specify the hostname of the Connection Server in the same case as the CN of the certificate.
