forward to ip

[Tristan]

Hi there,

does anyone here know a quick way to do the :2222 or /config forwarding right? If I type in domain.com:2222 or domain.com/config the server takes me to https://ipaddress:2222 while I want it to take me to https://domain.com:2222. I ask this because I want to buy an SSL certificate for my site, if there isn't a fix for this problem I think I should buy an intranet ssl (so I can register the CN to the ip address), shouldn't I?

You might find an answer to the question why it's done that way somewhere on these forums; I know it's been previously discussed.

As far as an intranet cert is concerned, I don't think you can find a company to issue you an intranet cert for a public IP#.

Can you write your own redirect? In other words tell your clients to log into:

server.example.com/admin

and then create an index.html file at:

/var/www/html/admin/index.html

with a redirect in it to:

https://server.exmaple.com:2222
