Hi,
We have a requirement to access DataMiner over https on two different FQDNs at the same time.
Below is the current config in MaintenanceSettings.xml to access Dataminer on https:// svdma3202000ee.nbndc.local
<HTTPS enabled="true" name="svdma3202000ee.nbndc.local"/>
We need to access on both
svdma3202000ee.nbndc.local
svdma3202000ee.nbnrs.local
What should the configuration in MaintenanceSettings.xml be set?
Can we add another https tag for nbnrs.local?
Thanks!
In the MaintenanceSettings.xml it's only possible to configure one FQDN. This is used by the server (back-end) to access resources from itself (since http://localhost/xx might not work when https is configured on the server), like generating reports, emails, cloud sharing, etc.
The front-end clients (Cube and web apps) will typically use the FQDN that has been inputted by the user to connect to the DMA agent. This can be both a local FQDN or a public accessible domain name over the Internet, it can be multiple, and doesn't have to be the same as the FQDN configured in the MaintenanceSettings.xml. As long as the DNS server resolves it to the IP address of the server hosting the DMA, and this IP address is accessible by the client, and there is a valid matching certificate for every FQDN, then it should work.
I believe Cube uses the hostname from MaintenanceSettings.xml to display embedded webpages such as the logging, ticketing, reporter, dashboards, … so those will only work on clients where the specified hostname resolves to an IP that is reachable for them.
Thank you very much for your responses guys! I really appreciate it.
You can add multiple DNS names (or even IP addresses) in the Subject Alternative Name field of the certificate.
