Orion HTTP to HTTPS - where to update config for FQDN (IIS?)

Hello,

I have migrated Orion to HTTPS. However, for security purposes we needed to sign the certificate to do so using the FQDN. Which means that the old URL of $servername is will pop up SSL warnings because it's not what my certificate is for, naturally. Is there a way to have Orion updated to move people to (URL example) https://$orionserver.FQDN instead of https://$orionserver ?

Example

Every URL in every alert contains $https://orionserver instead of orionserver.fqdn. Which means SSL warnings.

it requires you to edit DB (websites) table. for main engine, change <servername> to <FQDN>.

I believe there is a KB on this.

I am having the same problem, We did the exact same thing where we added a https cert for the fqdn and I wan't everything to refer to the fqdn not the hostname.

Designerfx, did you find a fix?

I have how to change the database to use the FQDN under Phase II in Setup SSL and Enable Smart Card (CAC/PKI) User Authentication for Orion Web Console

Thank you njoylif, I did that and it is working. I had one quirk where one link on the menu bar was still going back to the host name instead of the FQDN. I found that the properties in the custom menu was point to the hostname instead of a relative path. I made it relative and it started working properly.

Thank you Again.

Sorry, I left my previous job using solarwinds to find a new job using solarwinds - in the middle I didn't end up logging into thwack! Glad this was resolved.
