I have created my own CA for internal usage and set the root certificate to trustworthy on my machines. With this CA I signed the SSL-certificates for my internal servers. I only address them with their IP and so I used the servers' IP as certificate name.
If i connect to the Servers with Chrome or mobile Safari it works without problems, but if I use Safari 7 under Mavericks (on the same machine with the same keychain) i get the following error: "The certificate is not valid (host name mismatch)". I double checked that I entered the correct IP ("https://192.168.2.130
"), but I always get the same error.
Do I need to enter a different name for the certificate or is it just that Safari doesn't support SSL certificates for IPs?
Here is a screenshot of the error message (I can only post images with at least 10 rep):

Thanks in advantage and please excuse my bad English :D
