I have recently deployed a test environment of 2012 R2 RDS. I have it working, have a cert from GoDaddy, but still get the warning that "The server name on the certificate is incorrect", as it is requesting the name of the local server.
I can connect to the external name fine, no error, but when I launch an app I get the warning above because it is looking for the FQDN of the server on the local domain.
For example, the URL of the RDS is remote.abc.com. The host server internally is server1.local. The cert is for remote.abc.com and I purposely did not want and do not want to add server1.local as a SAN to the certificate. Is that the issue or is there another reason why I get this message?
