TlsDomainServerCertificateSubjectMismatch

Message Text

Authentication of the connection to secure domain %1 failed because the Transport Layer Security (TLS) server certificate didn't contain the name of that domain. Either contact the administrator for domain %1 to resolve the problem with their certificate or remove the domain from the domain-secured list.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that a domain that is specified in the TransportConfig object as a domain-secured domain has sent a message that has a certificate that does not contain a valid domain name. To authenticate with Domain Security, the certificate that is used for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) session must include the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain in the Subject or Subject Alternative Name fields.

User Action

To resolve this error, you must perform one of the following tasks:

  • Disable Domain Security for the domain.

  • Contact the administrator of the domain and request that the administrator create a valid TLS certificate for the domain.
