Re: [ebxmlms-general] HTTPS hostname wrong?

[Gait B. <gai...@ti...>]

Hi Brad,

you may want to try it with the machine's "real" hostname first. That
shouldn't suffer from localhost special case handling, if any.
AFAIK, the only key factor is that the hostname you use to contact the
server is identical to the one in the SSL certificate's common name.
--Gait.

hmm.  not sure this is the cause.

when i used keygen, i was careful to set the issuer as my ipaddress.  i've
tried issuing keys as localhost, my actual ipaddress, and 127.0.0.1. and
adjusting LoopBack.java against every combination  each time, the message i
get tells me that my host name should be "foo" where foo is whataever domain
name entered under toMshUrl in LoopBack.java, regardless of what certificate
i have in the keystore (i only put one in at a time).  i've restarted tomcat
everytime i modify the keystores.

the exception is thrown at the line in loopback that instatiates the Request
object.  i'd cut and paste the full stacktrace, but that machine isn't
connected to the internet.

You may try to investigate the common name of the server certificate
that your app server is using. In our experience when doing development,
the common name of the certificate of the app server should be the same
as the hostname part of the URL to request.
