A hostname mismatch occurs when the requested hostname is not included in the certificate presented by the server.

Examples include visiting www.example.com when only example.com is covered, or DNS pointing a hostname to a server that presents a certificate for a different site.

  1. Confirm the exact hostname entered in the browser or application.
  2. View the certificate and check its covered names.
  3. Verify DNS points to the intended service.
  4. Provision or install a certificate that includes the hostname when needed.
