Question 140
A guest web portal redirects successfully but browsers report that its TLS certificate does not match the portal hostname. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying issue is that the certificate identity check fails before users can safely trust the HTTPS portal. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: browsers establish authenticated HTTPS sessions to the expected portal hostname.

The reported fault instead arises because the certificate identity check fails before users can safely trust the HTTPS portal.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a printer is allowed into a protected VLAN solely because its hostname matches an approved naming prefix. The reported fault instead arises because the certificate identity check fails before users can safely trust the HTTPS portal.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when an employee access switch accepts default administrative passwords from a factory deployment image. The reported fault instead arises because the certificate identity check fails before users can safely trust the HTTPS portal.
