Even though server's self-signed SSL certificate has been imported and trusted, but iPad won't start SSL connection due to CN doesn't match hostname.

Confirmed:

Even though server's self-signed SSL certificate has been imported and trusted, but iPad won't start SSL connection due to CN doesn't match hostname.

Application Setup:

• WLS Server configured with self-signed SSL certificate (whose CN=my_company_name doesn't match its DNS name, appserver.mydomain.com)
• Application (java) deployed on WLS
• Mobile Application (phonegapped) on mobile devices (iPad, Android) 

Verification Goal:

• Can mobile application from device communicate with App services via HTTPS in the above settings?

Verification Steps:

1. import WLS's self-signed SSL certificate into iPad as trusted certificate
2. launching mobile app to hit server via https
3. Even though server's self-signed SSL certificate has been imported and trusted, but iOS won't start SSL connection due to CN doesn't match hostname.
