Hello Guys.
I'm new to FreeNas and to this Forum so first a friendly Hi! :)
If already a Post about this topic exists, i'm sorry for that and please link me to there! I couldn't find one.
I currently try to switch my FreeNas from http to https to make it more secure.
Unfortunately if i set up a CA, a Certificate and change the Settings to https i cant reach my FreeNas via my DNS.
I think its coming down to a problem with my common Name in the CA and Certificate but probably also to some overall Network settings.
Hope someone takes the time to help me :)
And just for information so that u know we don't need to start from the complete beginning:
I'm studying informatics so i know most of the theory.
Here is what exactly i'm doing and what my settings are:
I'v installed FreeNas, and gave it in my Fritz.box settings a static IP.
I have an DNS from no-ip and opened the Port 80 on my fritzbox to the static IP of the FreeNas.
Since than my FreeNas was reachable from outside my local Network just with the DNS.
Additionally i configured some of the options in "Global Configuration" under "Networking".
Hostname is just "freenas" , Domain (and here is maybe the first mistake?) is currently "local" and i also set the ipv4 and Nameserver1 to my local Gateway (192.168.178.1).
That's it.
Now i tried already different things.
i created (always only one at a time) CA's and Certificates with the following Common Names:
local IP-Address
DNS
hostname.DNS (freenas.*.ddns.net)
freenas.local (cause thats the domain currently at the Global Configuration)
So downloading and importing the CA into my Browser (Chrome).
Also i always set the Settings to Http+Https to not loose the connection completely if something isn't working with https. But yes. I checked everytime when i tested that i'm using https.
Unfortunately no one of these worked.
I could imagine that there is a mistake in the overall Network settings but i couldn't find out whats the problem.
If u need any further Information just ask.
I'm grateful for every kind of help.
Thanks!
Best regards
Christian
