Apache and SSL certificate problem
Hi all,
I see the following within my log and this is clearly due to me changing the hostname of the NAS. Is there a way to regenerate these certificates safely or do folks just generally ignore this. I certainly don't want to play with stuff via SSH and I only use it for log viewing / diagnostics etc as to avoid being denied support later.
Nov 23 13:04:11 NEW-DESPAIR apache2[5591]: [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `nas-E7-24-02.local' does NOT match server name!?
I do see I can change the hostname under HTTPS settings via the Web interface where the "SSL Key Host" is still set to the old hostname.
Thanks...

Since the certs are self-signed, you will get warnings in the browser unless you go to the trouble to add them to the root store. So personally I just click through the browser warnings.
If you go into system->settings->https, you can change the SSL key to match your hostname and then click apply.
I thought as much... Will change the hostname for cleanless though.
Thanks...
