Security – DMS configured on IP still works after enabling HTTPS

My DMS is configured with IP addresses for every agent in the cluster.

Since I now enabled HTTPS in maintenancesettings I would expect I need to configure the DMS to use hostnames, but the connection remains working as normal with IP addresses only.
Why is that? Is my DMS actually using HTTPS or do I need to enabled something else too?

EDIT: My bindings in IIS already had no mention of http anymore.

Hi Alexander,

When you mention 'the connection remains working as normal with IP addresses only.' are you referring that you can still connect via HTTP?

  • Enable only HTTPs (recommended): In this case you need edit the site binding and enable only HTTPs

You should have something similar to the screenshot below:

  • HTTP redirection: Additional information can be found in DataMiner Docs

Yes, I should have mentioned: I did edit the bindings to have https only in IIS.
