Exclamation Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch


Hi everybody and thanks in advance!

I am using a CentOs laptop and I am having a problem when opening the browser. I need to use the 127.0.0.1 address to access an internal application in the laptop using the browser interface.

The problem is that every time I open the browser there is a message that shows up:
Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch.
You have attempted to establish a connection with 127.0.0.0. However the security certificate presented belongs to "uashost7". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may e trying to intercept your communication with this web site.
If you suspect...

And I have to click OK if I want to open the browser. I have the option to view the certificate as well, and it gives information about the SSL Client and Server and the fingerprints.

Why is this happening?
Is there a way to avoid this, adding 127.0.0.1 into some file?

Thank you very much again!

If uashost7 points to the local machine, rather than entering 127.0.0.1, enter uashost7 in the browser. (have a look in /etc/hoosts if it doesn't work when you try it)

It won't work as uashost7 is asigned to the IP 192.168.11.222 and that is not the IP I would like to use because I need the loopback one.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Thank you very much!!

Create a new certificate then. I'm useless at these and have to google every time I make one
