How to Configure HTTPS Access Using an IP Address Instead of FQDN?

91 viewsFQDN HTTPS SAN SSL certificate

We're setting up HTTPS access to our DataMiner system but are limited to using an IP address due to the lack of DNS or domain registration in our environment. The documentation recommends using a FQDN with a valid SSL certificate, but we feel we might have to configure DataMiner to work with a self-signed SSL certificate that includes the IP address in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN).

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of setup? Thank you!

Hi Caio,

yes, it's possible when you have the IP address as SAN.

You also need to put the IP instead of the FQDN in MaintenanceSettings.xml (<HTTPS enabled="true" name="10.123.123.123"/>)

Please make sure every client trusts the rootCA of the certs.
