Hostname

The hostname is used for server identification in the local network. Additionally, a certificate can be requested by using the complete domain.

The name can be changed in the context menu under Antcas Control ▸ Infrastructure in the respective system properties. The properties are opened by double-clicking on the Server.

Multiple Hostnames

It is also possible to define a hostname per Network Interface. In this case, a separate Certificate is created and configured for each hostname. The name can be entered under the Adapter Settings in Advanced.

Invalid characters during input will result in the name being reset.
