Certificate doesn't verify

I have a user who connects from on or off site using Outlook 2003. He
keeps getting the following message:
"The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that
could not be verified. The certificate chain processed but terminated
in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. Do
you want to continue using this server?"
When my Thunderbird complained, I simply told it to accept the
certificate, and it did so. But Outlook doesn't seem to want to
remember that.
I believe that it has to do with the name of the server vs the name on
the certificate. Would this be a likely cause?
If so, it's my error: I was deciding between two different names and
just didn't enter the correct one when I created the certificate. How
do I ascertain the name on the certificate? And can I create a new
certificate, or do I need to change the name of my server? I can think
of three places where I figure the name should match: DNS, host name,
and certificate. Is this correct?
If the non-matching names are not the problem, what would it be?
