What error are you getting now? Is it specific about whether the problem is
that certificate is invalid or that it does not match or what?

The certificate only proves the identity of the server if the client is
using a name that is contained in the certificate, and the client software
uses the same stored in that place.

What is the client software? What name is it using to access the server? And
what are the contents of the name fields in the certificate? Is the
certificate signed by an authority the clients are configured to trust? If
there are any needed intermediate certificates, is the server sending them
to the clients?

If you're sure it's supposed to work, and it's not, you need to
troubleshoot.
