Cannot use a certificate with a CN that does not match the gateway's host

Problem

-- Older versions of the API Gateway will not allow you to create an SSL port that uses a certificate where the CN does not match the gateway's host system.

Resolution


* This is a limitation inherent in older versions of the gateway.  You may be able to work around this by adding an entry to your hosts file to make the gateway believe that its host matches the CN of the certificate.  If that is unworkable, upgrade.  Newer versions of the API Gateway have added an option to simply disable this check on the Advanced (SSL) tab of the port.
