Issue/Introduction

What type of Certificate CN for Gateway Server should be used?

Resolution

When creating the Gateway Server certificate, the CN name on the certificate must match what name the client is trying to contact via DNS.  IP addresses should be avoided as a new certificate will have be generated if the Gateway Server machine configuration is changed or if multiple Gateway Servers are needed.
