Failed to deploy WAR file while installing on a private server

Question

Hello.

Im trying to install HMDM using the installer located in the website, into ubuntu desktop 22.04.03, and im getting the error of "Failed to deploy WAR file". May I say that this deployment is done in an enterprise private server which has not access to internet connection, and we have to continue that way if possible.

I have tried already all the issues related to Tomcat9 I have found on this forum, and when checking if the catalina logs, I get mesages like: "fatal alert:handhsake_failure", related to SSL attempts.

In case is possible to set up and deploy hmdm without internet connection (linux packages are not an issue, since we have a local repository up to date), is there any way to bypass this issue mentioned?

Any help will be welcomed. Thank you in advance.

By default, Headwind MDM uses LetsEncrypt to generate SSL certificates. When you're installing MDM on a private network, LetsEncrypt will not work, so you need answer "NO" when the installer asks to use LetsEncrypt, and use commercial SSL certificates. See more details here: https://h-mdm.com/private-network/

In general, to avoid struggling with certificates on the private network, I would recommend you to use plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.
