Can someone tell me how they request and install a 3rd party certificate but not expose the server netbios name to the site visitor in the browser url area?
For example, let's say my server name is iisserver.mydomain.com. When I generate my CSR to request a 3rd party certificate, I use the name iisserver.mydomain.com. I'm using host headers so my server and DNS records respond to: mywebsite.mydomain.com, but I can't use mywebsite.mydomain.com when I generate my CSR, otherwise the site visitor will get the dreaded red x in their browser window because the cert doesn't match the netbios name.
Consequently, I *think* I have to use the true name of the server, but I don't want the site visitor to see the naming convention of my servers nor do I want them to see the true server name: iisserver.mydomain.com.
So, how do you request and install a certificate and yet not expose details about the server name it's running on?
Thank you,
Ed
