we are configuring a development environment for our commserve software testing 
2 virtual machines running on fast storage 
Let’s call them (commserv01-dev.company.au & commserv02-dev.company.au) with livesync option installed. We want to use a generic name for the web console of commserv-dev.company.au 
The Commcell console is named commserv-dev which loads ok

but the web console loads commserv01-dev   
  
using this doco I tried to get a multihost Digicert signed certificate for the https binding in iis manager 

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/configuring_secured_access_on_web_service_01.html
It didn’t work so I had to undo the changes   
  
However I have come across another post which says  that we need to configure for web console and tomcat.   

How to configure Commvault Reporting to use HTTPS instead of HTTP ? | Community 

Do I use the same CA signed certificate in 2 different places but using different ports ? 
or do we need to use 2 different types of certificate ?

One for apache and one for IIS 10 ?

Hi,

It’s not about port. Everything depends on what you’re trying to achieve.  IIS (Webserver) is something invisible for users, whilst Tomcat (Webconsole/Command Center) is.
In general, in CommServe LiveSync environment, we recommend having an external Webserver/Webconsole host(s) configured with TPPMs to avoid any comms issues which may occur post failovers.
