java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching <hostname> found

Issue

When making an HTTPS invocation from Java (e.g. in JBoss EAP using HttpsURLConnection, JAX-WS client, RESTEasy or JAX-RS client, etc), I receive the following error.

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching <hostname> found
