For instance, I have seen many customers use an internal domain name my mycompany.local and a public one like mycompany.com. </P><P></P><P>The primary use of the domain name is when creating a self-signed certificate for remote access. The documentation says it also uses it as a suffix for otherwise unqualified names but I seldom see those used.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:26:37 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-setting-domain/m-p/2479706#M269961 Marvin Rhoads 2014-02-10T03:26:37Z Re: ASA5505 setting domain https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-setting-domain/m-p/2479707#M269970 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>hi steven,</P><P></P><P>you configure a domain name (in addition to hostname) on an ASA to complete its FQDN.</P><P></P><P>it's an optional field but necesary when using X.509 certificates which can be used for HTTPS, SSL VPN and IPsec VPN.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 10 Feb 2014 05:21:37 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-setting-domain/m-p/2479707#M269970 johnlloyd_13 2014-02-10T05:21:37Z
