OWA Certificate Error

Hi All

I am having this error when accessing the OWA Website:
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

What should the certificate name be to avoid this error?

If you use public certificate please provide error message when you brows OWA.
If you do not want to use certificate just go Inetmgr and select OWA directory and remove SSL option.
to generate a certificate and you get no warning when used it, it must acheive 3 conditions

1. the certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority, by other words, the client who the request the page must trust the issueing certificate authority
2. the certificate validity times, valid from and valid to dates
3. the certificate CN name must match the requested URL
to do so, go to https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/exchange2007.htm
and put your URL for example, mail.domain.com in CN name and alternative names
