So I'm very new to using SSL certificates and I have been trying to install one on a site for a client. He is using shared hosting for multiple domains through GoDaddy, and the site we're working on is not the primary domain.
He purchased a UCC certificate for multiple domains and I installed it on the shared hosting account. My thought was that since the domains were under the same hosting account, then they would each be protected under the certificate. This was not the case...apparently.
I checked both domains with an SSL checker and the primary domain checked out. The domain that we wanted the SSL on showed the following errors:
None of the common names in the certificate match the name that was entered
(www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com). You may receive an error when accessing this site in a
web browser.
I'm not sure how to fix this. It was just purchased yesterday, so if necessary, I guess I could un-install it or re-key it (???). Is there a way to just change the common name to www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com (the correct domain)?
