RE: X.509 Certificate Subject CN Is Not Valid

Hello Andy Ho Boon Hua,

Shouldn't the CN be the machine name PAPP01?
who says so? Your scanner incorrectly assumes that the end-entity is "the computer" and the CN has the be the computer's (NetBIOS) name. Use of TLS is not restricted to browser⇔webserver communications and the "web" (HTTP/S) semantics ("site") do not apply. Router$PAPP01:1071361 is the end-entity that has been certified by SEC's Certification Manager and this CN doesn't change when the computer is renamed.
