What FQDN for a local Confluence Server should be in a self-sign cert for HTTPS?

Tony Marques_fmg4yf

I have a local Confluence Sever installed. Works fine when accessed using HTTP://localhost:8090.

I've followed the guidance for getting HTTPS to work- but it will not work for me!

Seems that the self-signed cert I create needs to have the FQDN specified in the 'CN' part of the KeyPair.

My hostname for my server is "HOMELAPTOP"

What FQDN should I enter in the Cert?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

You should use the qualified name that you are going to be presenting Confluence on.

If, for example, you want to present it on https://mydomain.net/confluence, the FQDN will be mydomain.net. Remember that this must be resolvable by DNS as well.

Thanks Nic

Users will be accessing confluence on an explicit iP address of the server on my LAN.

It's the FQDN that seems to be the issue?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

That would make the FQDN simply the ip address

Yep, that's what I thought also :-)

I'm at my whit's end to get Confluence to do something really mundane such as work over HTTPS.

I've just now tried the laptop hostname in the URL base as:

HTTPS://HOMELAPTOP:8443

Still won't work.

I'm now looking at the Cert itself but struggling to see any issue with it- I set the 'CN' entry as HOMELAPTOP in a new .keystore. makes no difference :-(
