IIS Server Name Change
Someone asked on Stack Overflow:
I have a certificate for that is valid for *.MyCompany.com. That is fine for my dev and test servers because the first part of the URLs for those computers ends like that.
I want to test this on my computer and the certificate is incorrect because my computer defaults to the url MyComputer.MyCompany.net.
Is there a way to fake out IIS in to thinking that my computer is .MyCompany.com or am I out of luck when it comes to testing this?
Thanks, Vaccano

You should be able to edit the host header values for the IIS website to accept *.Mycompany.com. To get the DNS to resolve and work correctly, you may need to add an entry to your windows hosts file — mycomputer.mycompany.com 127.0.0.1. that will let you test locally.
Another option would be to use a self-signed cert for local development.
