Error : "the name of the site does not match the name on the certificate" on android

Hi all,

I have many domains on the same server (debian 8.9 / apache 2.4.10)
All domains have certificate who works fine (same for updates) but I have a problem with android browser (tested on v6 and v2.3.5)
When I go to a domain on the android browser (https) I have this warning : the name of the site does not match the name on the certificate
I read the certificate information, and I see that’s the certificate is for an another domain on my server.
I have absolutely no problem on pc (chrome/ff/ie) and the certificate is the good for the domain.

I have made some searchs but …
Thx for your help.

Hi @danyel,

Can you tell us the domain name?

Does the name resolve to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?

the domain is masterbillard.com

Name: masterbillard.com
Addresses: 2001:41d0:8:d2b8::1
5.135.152.184

Interestingly, the problem is not with IPv6 at all but with the missing chain certificate. (It’s missing in both IPv4 and IPv6 configurations.)

I see and regenerated the analyze, but how to correct the problem ?
Thx all for your help.

You didn’t say what software you used to obtain the certificate, but all Let’s Encrypt clients should give you both the end-entity certificate and the chain certificate. For example, if you used Certbot, it gave you fullchain.pem which contains both of these.

In Apache 2.4 the SSLCertificateFile should point to a single file containing the entire chain “from leaf to root”, i.e. your site certificate followed by the issuer (“chain”) certificate(s). Certbot’s fullchain.pem is such a file, and other Let’s Encrypt clients should have an equivalent.

somewhere in your Apache conf file you should have something like:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/privkey.pem
ensure it has “fullchain.pem” not just “cert.pem”

All is ok now and works fine.
Thx so much for your help.
