Using a self-signed certificate in a private network

Question

Thank you for the fast reply

Is it possible a new URL in a private network uses self-signed certificate?

Answer 1

No, you cannot use a self-signed certificate for a domain:

- Headwind MDM and other applications will throw an "Untrusted certificate" error while attempting to access the website;

- It is not possible to add a self-signed domain certificate as trusted by Headwind MDM, it still couldn't be trusted by the OS.

See how to set up HTTPS on the LAN here: https://h-mdm.com/private-network/

The easiest and recommended way is to install Headwind MDM on an "Internet" domain (you'll need to set up an appropriate DNS record in your LAN).

A far more complicated alternative is to set up a local CA chain (root and intermediate certificates) in your LAN, and use them to sign the certificates of your local domains.
