Enabling SSL and FQDN

To enable SSL on my SQL server, I need a certificate with the same name as
the FQDN of the SQL server computer name. Does this FQDN need to be the
primary DNS name used for this server or can it be one of the aliases?
ThanksYou can use ping <servername> -a or run ipconfig /all on the
server to get the FQDN.
You may want to refer to the following for steps on enabling
SSL:
