Hotspot Security Certificate

I bought a security certificate from godaddy for the hotspot gateway for the paypal signup, and everything works, but when the user does a renewal to extend their time through the user’s page in the user manager, they get a security certificate error, but only in Internet Explorer, firefox works fine. Is this an issue with the certificate or with the way i set up it up in /ip services? The common name in the certificate is 10.5.50.1, which is the hotspot gateway.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You really shouldn’t be using IP addresses as CNs in SSL certificates. Particularly not private IP addresses. Firefox thinks this is OK, IE does not. In my opinion IE is correct, and GoDaddy never should have sold you that certificate.

It would be better if you purchased a domain name, mapped 10.50.5.1 to hotspot.mydomainname.com in your DNS server, and got a certificate for hotspot.mydomainname.com.

You can still re-use the same certificate on multiple routers that way, and it fully complies with all implementations.
