Using SSL => WAN ok, LAN not
|

| Hi all,
I am running a secure server on WAN at www.igsboekamp.nl. This works fine,
also with the certificate. Now a LAN user can reach this page also by using
either the servers hostname or its IP-address, but not by using the URL
www.igsboekamp.nl. This is unpracticle since any LAN user will get an error
message everytime when starting his webbrowser in secure mode, telling the
user that the certificate is not issued by the server the user just
connected to and it maybe a false certificate. The message is right, since
the certificate is issued by www.igsboekamp.nl and not some IP-address or
hostname. So,
How can I change things in a way that LAN users are also able to work with
www.igsboekamp.nl as URL?
Or are there other workarounds?
Anybody any idea where I could start digging?
I am using Fedora C4, Apache 2.0.54 and DNSing is done by a third party
ADSL-router. However, this problem also occurs with other configurations.
Thanks in advance for replying,
Richard

On each client add www.igsboekamp.nl to the hosts file and have it point to
the LAN-IP of your server.
OR
Add a DNSserver to your LAN, setting your provider's DNS to handle forwarded
requests, and build your private -aka LAN- version of the igsboekamp.nl
zone.
