I have a VA based Webservice connector with custom ssl cert which i added to VA certificates and restarted ccg but i still get the below error :

> `Exception occurred in Test Connection.Url: ``https://hostname.domain.com/api/v1/usermgmt/users/?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3``, Message: 0 : javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: Certificate for <``hostname.domain.com``> doesn't match any of the subject alternative names: [web.app.local], HTTP Error Code: 0`

## Please consider addressing the following when creating your topic:

- What have you tried? I have the custom cert chain and added it to VAs cert
- 
- What errors did you face (share screenshots)? mentioned above
- 
- Share the details of your efforts (code / search query, workflow json etc.)?

Looks this is the same issue but cannot access the link anymore : [Web Services Connector - custom CA](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/web-services-connector-custom-ca/7642)

- What is the result you are getting and what were you expecting?

I am sure there is a way to trust the cert or SAM if its in VA but cannot figure what else is missing.

Hi @lampard08

From my understanding, It seems VA trusts the cert but the hostname doesn’t match what’s in the cert. Is `hostname.domain.com` included in the SAN? If it’s mistmatch it will fail.
