        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.
