# Domain and HTTPS configuration
This part of the configuration determines how your ExtensionsManager and products are accessed and secured.
**Domain Setup**
You can define a custom domain for both the **Extensions Manager** and your extensions.\
The domain controls how Tableau and other services connect to your environment.
* **Default:** `localhost`
* When entering a custom domain, **do not** include `http://` or `https://`.
✅ **Good Example:**
```
extensionsmanager.infotopics.com
```
❌ **Incorrect Example:**
```
https://extensionsmanager.infotopics.com/
```
**HTTPS Setup**
Using **HTTPS** enables secure communication between Tableau, the Extensions Manager, and your server.\
It is **required** when using a domain other than `localhost`.\
\
When enabling HTTPS, you can choose which TLS version the server should allow.
* The recommended setting is TLS 1.2 (this is the default). This version offers strong security and broad compatibility.
* You may choose TLS 1.3 as the minimum version for even stricter security (supported by modern clients).
* Lowering the TLS version below 1.2 is strongly discouraged and should only be done if you fully understand the risks, as older versions contain known vulnerabilities.
* If unsure, leave this setting at the default (TLS 1.2).
When enabling HTTPS, you must provide SSL certificate details:
* Either two separate files (`.crt` and `.key`), or
* One combined SSL file (e.g., `.pem`).
Once HTTPS is active:
* Connections will be encrypted and verified against the specified domain.

Be sure the key file is unencrypted.

How to decrypt an encrypted private key
1. Open keyfile and check if it starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
If there is something above this line, delete it. (Same applies to certificates!)
2. Open your keyfile and check if it is encrypted. (Encrypted private keys start with -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----) When it is encrypted, you need to decrypt it. You can do that via openssl (if installed on your machine) in your terminal using the following command:
`openssl rsa -in -out `

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/extensionsmanager/installation-guide/configuration/advanced-settings/domain-and-https-configuration.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
