APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Chrome now requires certificates to have the DNS names listed in the Subject Alternative Name field and ignores DNS entries in Subject field of a certificate Chrome requires a DNS SAN to be set to the hostname of the server in the request Our Websphere default chained certificate that are being generated do not have a DNS under Subject Alternative Name entry. Note that RFC 2818 has deprecated the use of hostname matching via the CN entry of the subject and encouraging all CAs to use Subject Alternative Naming: If a subjectAltName extension of type dNSName is present, that MUST be used as the identity. Otherwise, the (most specific) Common Name field in the Subject field of the certificate MUST be used. Although the use of the Common Name is existing practice, it is deprecated and Certification Authorities are encouraged to use the dNSName instead.
Local fix
create a self singed certificate with DNS under SAN
