As i said during CSR generation it nowhere asked me Fully-qualified 
hostname against a url it only asked CN, will try tomm if there is any 
option to provide one. Secondly i don't have any record (A-record or 
PTR) in my local DNS for the domain, Is't /etc/hosts enough?

Thanks for your help

Cheers!
