Certificate SSLHandshake Exception

[Joe San]

I'm trying out something that is supposed to be really simple and straight forward. As per this documentation, I created the .pem files:

https://docs.docker.com/articles/https/

I have a Java client that I use to connect to the docker daemon running on a remote machine. My client however fails with the following exception:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names present 

What I'm not sure is which cet of .pem files are meant for the server and which are meant for the client with respect to the documentation given at the docker's website. I added the ca.pem, cert.pem, key.pem on my client and started the docker daemon as mentioned, but I could not get my rest client to work. Any suggestions?

Any by the way, if you are new to Docker, I'd seriously advice you to take a look into it! Sounds to me the next big thingy!

When I inspected the certificate file, I saw the following:

joes@joes:~$ keytool -printcert -v -file server-cert.pem
Owner: CN=123.456.0.10
Issuer: CN=123.456.0.10, O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd, ST=Some-State, C=IN

Certificate fingerprints:
     MD5:  80:72:7B:43:21:37:BE:48:20:D4:E8:94:6D:2C:73:51
     SHA1: 36:9C:FB:D9:1E:1B:3F:D6:1C:32:6C:ED:F0:C6:88:95:44:1A:A4:20
     SHA256: 49:C9:FD:39:29:D7:CF:78:14:49:86:47:CC:B5:F7:18:D3:B9:96:E5:34:52:6A:01:A6:88:1D:4B:E0:33:1B:D9
     Signature algorithm name: SHA256withRSA
     Version: 1

There is no SAN. Since I'm using the IP address of the machine and not the host name, what should I do now to enable SAN appear in my pem file when I generate it using open ssl?

Anyone having a clue?
