Yes that's correct but only when I'm using the IP address and not the hostname, I can login just fine if I use the hostname

 

That is weird :(   If you can get to the login screen I would not have thought that it made any difference if you got there via hostname or IP address.

To clarify the login page does work but won't bring me to the webui unless I am using the hostname

When you enable/disable SSL there is a warning in the webgui:

Basically, your browser is remembering that it used to use SSL for this url and it wants to keep using it. If you run into this, you need to close any other browser tabs that are pointed to the server and then clear your browser's cache. That should convince your browser to let you log in using the newly configured url.

Thanks, that solved the issue.
