We bought a certificate for a domain.   I've set up a few sites with ssl before this, so I was careful to enter the FQDN in my csr request.  A day later Verisign sent the cert in an email, which we copied into a sitename.crt file on the server.   I made an unecrypted version of the key so I wouldn't have to enter the passphrase every time Apache starts.  (yes I entered the passphrase, which was accepted)

So - I start the server without errors.  When I access the site using https://sitename, the browser returns a certificate mismatch error.   The cert details appear with localhost, localdomain, ect, which is not what I entered when creating the csr & key. 


    ServerName sitename.department.domain.ext
    ServerAdmin abc@123.def
    DocumentRoot /www/virtualhosts/sitename
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-access_log common
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename_unencrypted.key
    SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt



Is there a way to print out the details listed in a crt file, from command line?   Can I do the same with the original csr file?
