Neil,
The Common name(CN) on cert match the hostname of the server.
I use same name both CN and server name.

Peter - is the CN a fully qualified domain name? i.e. if the server is called
hisserver and the domain is mycompany.com, is the CN "hisserver" or
"hisserver.mydomain.com" ? My only other idea is to change it to whichever it
currently isn't.

Peter,
We have seen this issue with invalid server certificates or when using an
unknown certificate server that created a certificate that didn't contain
the appropriate fields.
You could try using a Self-Signed Certificate created with the SelfSSL
utility included in the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit to see if you can get it to
work with that certificate.
Here are some details around how to do this:
1. Make sure you are using HIS 2004 SP1 (or have applied the hotfix
described in KB 906915).
2. Downloaded Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=80a1b6e6-829e-49b7-8c02-333
d9c148e69&DisplayLang=en
Default directory
C:\Program Files\IIS Resources\SelfSSL\selfssl.exe
3. Create the certificate:
SelfSSL Version 1.0 Syntax
Overview | Syntax | Complementary Tools
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SelfSSL uses the following syntax:
SELFSSL [/T] [/N:cn] [/K:keylength] [/V:duration-of-validity] [/S:site-id]
[/P:port] [/Q]
Parameters
/T
Adds the self-signed certificate to the "Trusted Certificates" list. The
local
browser trusts the self-signed certificate only if this parameter has been
specified.
/N:cn
Specifies the common name of the certificate. The computer name is used if
you do
not specify a common name.
/K:keylength
Specifies the certificate key length. The default is 1024.
/V:duration-of-validity
Specifies the duration for which the certificate is valid. The default is 7
days.
/S:site-id
Specifies the site ID of the SSL-protected site. The default is 1 for the
default
Web site.
/P:port
Specifies the SSL port. The default is 443.
/Q
Specifies Quiet mode. In Quiet mode, any existent settings for the site are
overwritten silently.
The following syntaxes are valid (make sure to replace the /N: values with
your server name):
SELFSSL /T /N:<servername> /K:1024 /V:365 /Q
SELFSSL /T /N:<fully-qualified server name>/K:1024 /V:365 /Q
NOTE: The IIS Self-Signed Certificate gets created in the Computers Personal
Store.
It will then need to be manually copied from the Computer's Personal Store
to the
TN3270 Service Account User's Personal Store and Trusted Root Certification
Authorities store
