It looks like you entered an invalid value for altName "www.example.com".

This is the question:

Please enter any additional names to use in the SSL certificate.                                                                         It will become the 'subjectAltName' field of the generated SSL certificate.                         
Multiple alternative names should be delimited with comma and no spaces. For a web server with multiple DNS names this could look like:
DNS:www.example.com,DNS:images.example.com                                                                                               A more complex example including a hostname, a WebID, an email address, and an IPv4 address:                                             DNS:example.com,URI:http://example.com/joe#me,email:me@example.com,IP:192.168.7.3                                                        

So please try with "DNS:www.example.com" rather than "www.example.com".
