Hi,
I have been using juniper Network connect for a few years now.
after upgrading to win 8.1 i decided to use the embedded VPN client to connect to the corporate network.
the facts:
the server i use to connect to, using the juniper NC (the sign in page) ,is not issuing the proper certificate CN name for the target server.
i.e sa.bezeq.co.il instead of the server i try to connect to 212.***.***.***
and a security alert is popped up asking if i want to proceed. - which i choose YES and it connects without any problems.
but when i configured the windows VPN and tried to connect an error pops: "certificate CN name does not match the passed value" the problem is that it pops an Error instead of an alert and not allowing to proceed.
i cant find my way around it..
is there any security policy set to ask if i want to proceed anyway or disregard the name difference ( just like in the Juniper Client )?
or any other workaround, registry key, powershell cmdlet .. anything?
after days of research i found that in development environment there was some kind of solution using a parameter flag called INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID
another related topic about win phone 8 development mode using SocketSslErrorSeverity parameter set to ignore.
but the above ideas are not for desktop win 8.1 pro edition without serious tweak using code. - which i absolutely want to avoid.
I would really appreciate your professional help in suggesting the easy workaround.
Regards
Itsik
