273927 - Certificate name does not match the host name

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261900

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Tels]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The common name for the certificate for the https://update.mozilla.org does not
literally match the hostname (it looks like a regexp (update|iquana)@...). 

Firefox does not have a problem with that, but other products have. For
instances, Konqueror warns about the mismatch.

However, the most problematic thing is that HTTPS proxies (like tommy) deny
access to the site because of this mismatch. At home (if I would use something
else than Firefox :) I can click "ignore" and continue on. At work, the proxy
denies the access and since the proxy is mandatory, I cannot use the site at all.

(This might be a bug in Konqueror 3.2.1 or tommy in the way they handle
certificate - I don't know which one is right here. Sorry :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Konqueror; or tommy as http proxy.
2. Browse to update.mozilla.org
3. Get error message

Actual Results:  
Access denied, or error message about mismatching certificate.

Expected Results:  
Sent the correct certificate.
