iis security:

It is said that the name in "issue to" section in the certificate should be
the same as the external server name of your web server.

I have installed an enterprise CA and tried to creat a new certificate from
the directory security in IIS. I noticed that the certificate will work no
matter what common name I use in the certificate. For example:
www.fakename.com, fakename.local, fakename.

However, if I submit a request on the certsrv site and install it to the web
site. The certificate will not work no matter what name I use. "the page
cannot be displayed" error will occur.

Is there a difference when submitting certificate request in these two
places? I also tested using stand-alone CA and get a more confusing result. I
can use the certificate issued to "xxx". If I use "www.xxx.com", it will not
