[ale] Certificate SigningRe: [ale] Certificate Signing

[cfowler]

I think I fixed it.  On my units the hostname is set to
localhost.localdomain.com.  That is for the 127.0.0.1 address and can be found
in /etc/hosts.  When I regenerated the key and used that hostname it no longer
complained about the hostname not matching.
