Just about everything I've read says to use a FQDN for the cn when creating your server certificate. I've done this and it works. Fine.
question: why fqdn? are there good reasons for insisting on fqdn? why not just the short hostname? opinions?
I suggest you read the related RFC's, and then you'll know the answer. :)
