1. The name on the certificate must match the name of the site or server.
2. https://tsta-s2.tsta.org has a certificate installed which was issued by
a CA of the organization itself.
3. Typing in the IP address will always result in a certificate error, as
unless you have a certificate for the IP address, it will never match.
4. A certificate for tsta.org would be a very broad one. That would be open
for problems.
The best bet is to let the current certificate expire and get one for the
FQDN, tsta-s2.tsta.org.
