SSL warning: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
ISSUE
We are using self-signed certificates on the Metric Insights server provided for us by IT department.
When I try to open Metric Insights application in Chrome or Safari browser I get not private connection warning:
RESOLUTION:
Chromium removed support for matching common name in certificates in M58:
* Feature bug (including motivation): Issue 308330
* https://www.chromestatus.com/features/4981025180483584
Certificates that rely on this deprecated behavior will now be rejected with:
ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
The affected certificates are often locally generated ones for development purposes, or are part of a private PKI.
The solution is to re-generate the certificates to include a Subject Alternative Name extension, or to enable an option in Chrome to allow them.
