How to create certificate for gitblit server?

I use a gitblit server.

I can access it using: https://localhost:8443, but when accessing https://192.168.10.1:8443, which is the IP address of my PC, I see SSL Error.

Can someone please shed a light on what I might be doing wrong?

Certificates are tied to hostnames.

By default Gitblit GO generates a self-signed certificate for localhost. If you access Gitblit GO over https using a different hostname (like the IP address) the browser will complain about the hostname mismatch. It will also complain about the self-signed certificate even if you are accessing the server from the expected hostname. Both of these are standard security responses.

Your solution choices are:

1. Add an exception for your self-signed cert
2. Initiate a CSR (certificate signing request) and purchase a signed certificate through a Certificate Authority (Thawte, VeriSign, etc).
3. Don't use https
