Odd NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID SSL Error
Please bear with me, as this is going to be lengthy. The short of it is, I bought an SSL cert from GoDaddy for *.mydomain1.com. After installing it on IIS, I try to browse to the site on Chrome and get an SSL error NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_
Here are screenshots of everything.
Note the two different SSL Certs in GoDaddy.
Here are the certificates installed on the server. Note the difference in expiration dates.
And, here are the certs installed on IIS.
Just for confirmation, I open the cert to see its details. Sure enough, it's issued to *.mydomain1.com.
Here is the binding for the site in IIS.
And finally, when I try to go to sales-dev.mydomain1.com, I get this error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

trace the path from the internet to the website. do you have another site using https port 443 using the other certificate? Also you could try checking the box require Server Name Identification

Thanks for the reply, David. Yes, of course. The *.anotherdomain.com certificate is being used for other sites. I'm not sure how that could conflict with the *.mydomain1.com certificate, seeing as all the bindings for those are anotherdomain.com URLs and not mydomain1.com URLs.
I tried checking "Require Server Name Indication" to no avail.
"trace the path from the internet to the website"
how would I go about doing that? I'm not sure I follow.

Bhavesh, thank you for the detailed response! However, this is not just a Chrome issue. It's happening in all browsers.
Also, I did try re-keying the cert already, and that did not work.
I'll take a look at your links you provided. Thank you!

Unfortunately, those links only discuss fixing SSL issues in Chrome. As I mentioned, this issue is global to all browsers.
