I have purchaseed SSL secure Site from Verisign. So I have configured it and its working fine on https://www.myExample.com which ip is 123.123.123.123.
As ssl bein configurated to the domain name 'myExample.com' when I acces to the server url through IP like https://123.123.123.123 I see that warning 'this site is not secure..'
Having the ssl to the domain, there is a way to change (or adapt) it also for the server ip (who is exactly the same)? Or I have to buy a new license only for the ip as a web hostname?
Thanks!

Verisign does not know nor care about your IP address assignment. Your certificate contains DNS name for your domain name, like
www.myexample.com
. If you don't want your browser to complain about signature being invalid, you must confgure DNS properly.If you don't want to configure DNS right now, you can temporarily add custom named IP record to
/etc/hosts
or%WINDOWS%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
. But, this will only affect one computer where this change was made, and is not really recommended - just fix DNS already!
