Your company would have to configure it (in DNS). That's not something your Ignition install controls. ---

so, means I have to configure in DNS on our company private Domain right? What the thing we need to do this? Example, SSL certificate or anything else? ---

You need to: - Configure your private DNS to return the correct internal IP addresses for the fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs) you wish to use with your servers. - Obtain certificates for those hostnames, preferably with the corresponding IP addresses as subject alternative names. - If the certificates are signed by a private Certificate Authority, you must ensure all client software has that CA's root certificate installed. - Install the certificate in Ignition, along with the root certificate and any intermediate certificates (aka certificate chain). - If you did not get IP addresses added to the certs as alternates, you must change all client software to connect via the FQDN instead of by IP address. ---

That can mean the certificate chain is out of order. Ignition needs them in order from innermost to root. Some CA's provide the package in the other order. ---

You mentioned your company in the first post. Maker is not for commercial use. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/0/5099ade2c80a774f5034c61a5ec4df333cf017a7.png) ---
