-iPXE has case sensitive compare of hostname when validating certificate, so make sure the casing in your urls used in iPXE matches the one in certificate.
+This error indicates that the name provided in the TLS server certificate did not match the server name in the URI.
-So if a certificate is for boot.ipxe.org then https://BOOT.IPXE.ORG will not work in iPXE.
+Things to try:
+  * Check that the server is using the correct certificate.
+  * Check that the client is using the correct name to connect to the server.  The name must exactly match the name provided in the certificate.  This is usually the fully-qualified domain name, such as ''boot.ipxe.org''.
+Note that certificate names are case sensitive.
-The reason for this is how certificates are compared in iPXE and there is no clean good solution for how to fix this.
