Qlik Nprinting Host URL secure on browser

[AgilentQlik]

We are currently using NPrinting, and the application URL is not secured in the browser as it includes a port number. To address this, we have created a DNS URL and mapped it to the target server’s hostname.

Current URL: https://hostname.net:4993/
DNS URL: https://dns.com/


We would like to secure the browser URL using SSL.
Questions:

Where should the SSL certificate be applied within NPrinting?
What are the steps to ensure the browser URL is secured (HTTPS) using the new DNS URL?

Please share your inputs on the process at your earliest convenience.

Hi @AgilentQlik 

all details are well documented here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2025/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/Certificat...

Further, it is very important to ensure that you remove the password from the .key file as described here:

Managing keys and certificates

"The certificate key must not be passphrase protected."

Hi Lech_Miszkiewicz & Frank_S, Thanks for reply,

The Host Name URL is secured with an SSL certificate, but the DNS URL is not secured with the same certificate. Are there separate steps required to secure the DNS URL? I have attached screenshots of both the Host Name URL and the DNS URL. Kindly assist.

how do you route your traffic? are you using some sort of load balancer, if so you should install required certificate on it otherwise you need to decide which domain name you want to have cert for (.net or .com)?
