Windows 8 SSL VPN - certificate CN name problem

itsikt

Hi ALL.

I have been using Juniper Network connect for a few years now.

after upgrading to win 8.1 i decided to use the embedded SSL VPN client to connect to the corporate network.

the facts:

the server i use to connect to using the juniper NC (the sign in page) is not issuing the proper certificate CN name for the target server.

i.e sa.bezeq.co.il instead of the server i try to connect to 212.***.***.***

and a security alert is popped up asking if i want to proceed. - which i choose YES and it connects without any problems.

but when i configured the windows VPN and tries to connect at first the error was the certificate is not available on local machine so i installed it into the trusted root certificate authority and error dismissed. then the second error was the " certificate CN name does not match the passed value"

i cant find my way around it..

is there any security policy set to ask if i want to proceed anyway or disregard the name difference ( just like in the Juniper Client )?

or any other workaround, registry, powershell cmdlet anything?

Regards

Itsik
