SSL and Redirect Issue

B

Beth

I have recently deployed a nice FP site with a shopping
cart. I purchased an SSL and installed it. I then
realized (too late) that the Cert was registered without
the www included in the common name. Now when my
customers begin the check out process, they get a message
saying that the name on the cert doesn't match. I have
contacted the Cert company and they suggested I include a
REDIRECT script or Change my DNS settings to get around
the problem. My question is:
Should I change my DNS entry for www alias
companyname.com to www host companyname.com to solve the
problem?

Or do I add a redirect script to the page that points to
the cert, and if I do that, will it take care of the
pages that follow it? Or do I need to put a redirect
script on all the pages that follow it? I am not that
familiar with redirect scripts, although there are many
javascripts to choose from.

I would appreciate help from anyone who has come accross
this or a similar problem. I have spent too much time on
this project to screw it up now!

Thanks so much,

Beth
