Hello All,

I have deployed an AWX 17.0.0 on docker using https with an internal certificate like awx.acme.local.

I added.the root certificate of the the certificate awx.acme.local on the NGINX server.

Do I have to configure the “Base URL of the Tower host” to match the internal name (awx.acme.local) or public dns name ([awx.publicdomain.com](http://awx.publicdomain.com))?

Regards

Jose Osorio

To configure your certificate , you can use the public Dns name and use the same in nginx .
