ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID with wildcard certificate with Apache
I'm new to managing SSL certificates so my problem might be simple to resolve. I'm trying to add my wildcard SSL certificate to my website hosted on a container running Apache on Azure Container Service.
My wildcard certificate was in a .pfx format so the first thing I did was to transform it to .cer and .key files following the steps in this post.
Then, in my container running apache, I modified the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf. Resulting default-ssl.conf file looks like this (I just modified the path of the SSLCertificate and SSLCertificateKeyFile parameters):
<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /path/to/my_cert.cer SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/my_cert.key <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Directory> </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>I reloaded apache with service apache2 reload and tried accessing my website using https, but I'm getting the error:

Am I missing configuration in another file ? What have I done wrong ?

Problem solved. I just mapped mywebsite.mywildcarddomain.com to my azure website and now I can access with https.
