Hello,

I have configured https site with IP with self signed certificate. Can some one help me in changing the IP with my own defined url name.

Ex: https://100.100.100.100:8443 to https://abc.com

use a service like dyndns to set your domainname to youe ip, is your ip dynamic and do you own the domainname?

If it's only local and doesn't cross the internet you can modify the /etc/hosts file and assign the IP to the name. Although you'll need to do the port override at the URL with that method.

$ echo 100.100.100.100 abc.com www.abc.com >> /etc/hosts

$ firefox https://abc.com:8443

Or something like that.

Hi,
The IP is static and can be access from any part of the world over internet.
I just want to change the IP to my own defined name.
Can you let me know the exact path where i can modify.

You have to register your domain name (if it free yet).
However I do not sure your static IP will be assigned to your desired domain name.

It is already registered. I need to just change it. Can you tell me the file name along with the path where I can change it.

You buy the name from a registar and buy a service like noip or dyndns to point the "name" to the "ip". If it's static, you can probably forgo the 2nd service in some cases. If it's only you that will ever use the "name" then you can do that on your devices through various means, like /etc/hosts, firewall, proxies, dns caching, .... Most hosting services have decent guides on the process for public DNS lookup. If you want the "name" to be usable by anyone and everywhere by "name", then you're going to have to buy more than a computer and an internet connection. And the name has to be available and for sale.

Note, if the name doesn't match what is embedded in the certificate, the browser will report it as bogus.

If you are using email, you ought to set up a proper DNS.
Many email systems use reverse DNS lookups as an anti-spam measure.

Generally you buy a domain name and that company will register it. You may have to use their control panel to modify.

Not sure how well https will work over dynamic dns (DDNS) but should work.

Exactly like that.
Poor Man's DNS!
