HTTP User Experience Monitor

I've been trying to setup a couple of the above monitors only for it to error saying The remote device is using a certificate with a common name not matching the host name used to connect.

How can I get round this error?

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon,

Normally I would associate this error with HTTPS monitors. The solution in that case is to check "Allow SSL certificates to have a different Common Name than Host Name" or change the "IP Address / Domain Name" field of the monitor to match the common name of the pages certificate.

Can you confirm that it is not the HTTPS monitors that are giving you this error?

Thanks!

I've tried adding www.cisco.com and www.google.com and get the same error for both, these both work if I use the lightweight http monitor but not the user experience monitor.

Thanks

Hi Jon,

Would you be able to post a screen cap of a failing monitor's config as I presume these are public URL's? Or perhaps you could post what you have for the "Test Parameters" section in the monitor config.

Thanks,

Matt

Yes, they're public URL's.
