SSGD 4.31.905 and Native Client with HTTPS and firewall forwarding

Hi everyone.

I've just installed SSGD 4.31.905 on a SLES9/SP3 box and configured it as to use HTTPS connections only and firewall forwarding.

I managed to handle X509 certs as to avoid having confirmation requests on the screen on every access and everything is working fine.

Just a question: when I fire up a browser and try to connect to https://IP/sgd, the browser informs me about a potential security risk since I accessed a web server using its IP address instead of using its FQDN.

If I confirm the dialog box, access is granted and everything else works fine (and this is expected).

If I use the Native Client and try to access https://IP/tarantella, I got a "connection refused" message; if I change the URL as to read https://FQDN/tarantella, everything is fine.

So it seems the Native Client cannot connect to a secured SSGD server by using an IP/hostname differente from the one recored into the X509 cert.

Is it expected or what?

Thanks,

Rob
