[SOLVED] Beginner - Problem with certificates
Published: January 19, 2022 - 12:39
Hello to the entire community,
To begin, here is the essential information about my version of WAPT:
WAPT Enterprise version 2.1.2.10605
Currently installed on a Windows 10 machine
And now a little background:
I work in a small IT department where I've been tasked with deploying WAPT across the network. None of us in the department have been able to find a solution to the problem I'm encountering, so I'm posting here. I installed the WAPT server on a dedicated Windows 10 machine to test the entire system before properly migrating everything to the final server. I have limited knowledge of SSL web certificates and the HTTPS protocol, which is why I'm asking for your help.
Difficulty encountered:
My test machines are not showing up in the WAPT console. When I run a command found in the documentation: wapt-get enable-check-certificate, I get the following error:
And the rest, with several other lines indicating that the hostname is not included in the subjectaltnames extension of the certificate...
When I retrieve the server's HTTPS certificate via the button in the preferences, I notice that the certificate name ends with .lan, and I would like the server to be accessible locally. A static IP address has been assigned to the server for this purpose.
I don't understand where my mistake lies. I've searched and found various suggestions in the documentation and forum, including regenerating the certificate. I've also reinstalled the server, but I can't seem to get around this problem...
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Would a kind soul be able to guide me?
Thank you !
EDIT: It was a DNS error in my configuration
