Hi,

i have to secure a Glassfish2.1 server (SSL). But the URL to access the website is going to be an ip address instead of a domain name.
Considering this: "[i][b]It's important to ensure that the name of the certificate matches the fully-qualified hostname of your site. If the names don't match, clients connecting to the server will see a security alert stating that the name of the certificate does not match the name of the site. You should notice that the name of the default self-signed certificate matches the fully-qualified hostname.[/b][/i]" from -><a http:="http://java.sun.com/mailers/techtips/enterprise/2007/TechTips2_Nov07.html">here</a><-.
Does "hostname" signify "domain name"? or it can be an ip address?

thanks
