[users@httpd] RE: Mismatched server name and SSL cert

I'm still chipping away at getting SSL working for our reverse proxy server
(RPS).  Currently, it looks like our RPS is going secure:

https://www.cob.org

However, we're getting the following entry in the Apache HTTPD error log:

RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) 'www.cob.org' does NOT match server
name!?

Here are the settings in my httpd.conf file:

ServerName www.cob.org

<VirtualHost www.cob.org:443>

      SSLEngine on
      SSLProxyEngine on
      SSLCertificateFile ...somepath/public.crt
      SSLCertificateKeyFile  ...somepath/private.key
      SSLCertificateChainFile  ...somepath/intermediate.crt
      ProxyPass /webapp1 https://x.x.x.x/webapp1
      ProxyPassReverse /webapp1 https://x.x.x.x/webapp1

</VirtualHost>

Once I get this working correctly, I'll move on to trying to get the
connection from the RPS to the webapp1 server secure without a browser
complaining ;)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
