===Configure Common Name for self signed Certificate===
With secure connections being made to the SME server for mail & browsing, the domain name presented on the security certificate can cause some devices/users not to allow the connection when presented with "scary" warning messages.
To avoid this, SME server can be configured to present a security certificate to users & devices that matches the real world domain name. It is good practice to change the CommonName setting for the SSL certificate rather than use the default servername.domain.com. The default servername.domain.com does not resolve correctly when used in mail client devices that are external to the LAN, so a better choice is to configure all mail clients, whether they are internal or external, to use the same mail server format of www.mymaindomain.com. These settings allow mobile users to use their devices internally on the LAN or externally without needing to change configuration settings in the devices
Login to the command prompt aa root user or user with root privileges.
Issue the following comamnds, where the domain name you use is the main domain name configured in the admin Console, "Configure this server" option eg www.mymaindomain.com
