How can I fix Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN after installing certificate?

My web server's FQDN is foo.bar.com

It is aliased and most commonly accessed at baz.bar.com

I had a SSL certificate generated by our netsec guys and I installed it to the server and enabled the site. Now I am receiving Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN because the certificate is only for foo.bar.com, not baz.bar.com

How can I get this resolved?

The hostname in the URL you use to access a site must match a subject of the certificate. This means if you want to access the site as bot baz.bar.com and foo.bar.com you either need a certificate which contains both or need two certificates and serve the certificate based on the request name. In the last case the client must support SNI if both names point to the same IP address.
