ServerName not used accesing admin in GUI

We are running cups in a server named AAA with the DNS cname printserver pointing to it. The ServerName in cupsd.conf is printserver
When we access to the admin section in the GUI, we can see the following message:
You must access this page using the URL https://AAA:631/admin
As you can see, it is using the FQDN and not the servername value.
This is a problem because AAA is not in the https SSL certificate. In the future we may change the cups to host BBB and we don't want to revoke SSL certificate, changing DNS cname will suffice. The right message would be:
You must access this page using the URL https://printserver:631/admin
It seems that in schedule/client.c the variable con->servername is getting the value from the name resolver, ignoring servername variable at cupsd.conf
How can we resolve this?
Thanks in advance
