Additional Allowed Hosts

Additional Allowed Hosts is an optional feature that lets you specify extra host names to be verified alongside the primary host name set in the Remote Address field.

When establishing a secure connection, Mirth® Connect performs host name verification to ensure that the host name you are connecting to matches the names listed in the remote server’s SSL/TLS certificate (typically found in the Subject CN or SAN fields).

However, if you are using Velocity variables (such as variables from the Connector Map or Channel Map) in the Remote Address field, host name verification may fail.

The Additional Allowed Hosts window provides a solution by allowing you to define a list of explicit host names that Mirth® Connect can use for verification if the primary one fails.

It is recommended to use this option when you are dynamically setting the Remote Address field using velocity variables from the Connector Map or Channel Map.
