NetScaler/XenMobile SAN Certificate: Things to know!

NetScaler Xenmobile

Working with a customer on a XenMobile Project and as the customer would like to use a SAN Certificate, I write a post on how to do that:

NetScaler: How to create a CSR and key file for a SAN certificate.

However you need to take care for Android devices enrollment.

Note: The implementation is a MAM-Only with CBA.

If fact for my customer, we defined in the .conf file 2 DNS:

  • nsg.company.com as CN
  • mam.copany.com as DNS.1 (alternate)

If for iOS it’s not a problem, for Android there is an issue, on connection the device prompt for a certificate name mismatch:

If you click on View you will see that the certificate Common Name is nsf.company.com and not mam.company.com this is why Android prompt.

 

So be careful when you create a CSR for SAN Certificate on NetScaler with conf file CN must match the name of the XMS.
