Hi,

I followed the following article [0] to enable HTTPS on publish and its successfully done. Now, I am trying to access the publish server from other machine, I am able to access using its public IP without https [1], however I am not able to access https [2]. Below are the urls. Please suggest what am i doing wrong here?

[0] Article: SSL By Default

[2] https://54.173.93.90:433/content/cornerstones4care/en/sign-up.html

I have configured https on 443, however same is accessible on local machine using localhost

please, do not expose your AEM instances directly to the internet, without having secured them according to the security checklist; and the most important aspect being: add a dispatcher in front of it. And in most cases you can safely terminate the HTTPS connection there, and use unencrypted HTTP from dispatcher to AEM; but you can also choose to encrypt this connection.

But in any way, please add a dispatcher!

Regarding the connection: Maybe this connection is blocked somehow via a firewall?

Most likely your listener IP is different than your public IP or otherwise its an internal network/firewall issue.

logon to that box, check the hosts file for that IP

As mentioned by Jörg​, secure it ASAP
