Hello,

I would like to change the name of my WAPT server, basically from "wapt.local.contoso.com" to "wapt.local.contoso1.com".

The problem is that if I do this, my clients are disconnected and I can no longer communicate with them. So I imagine I need to modify the agents first. Is there a procedure to follow?

Thank you.

Hello,
as with any HTTP(S) access, the DNS and certificates must be updated. If the certificate is self-signed (without a CA), the change must be implemented on the machine.
Regards,
