Host Intranet websites on secured URL (HTTPS)

Hello Team,

We are currently in the process to move the the HTTP protocol hosted Intranet websites to the secured HTTPS intranet protocol.

The current websites are accessible like: http://intranet.

Example domain, like : CORP.CONTOSO

Now, when we have deploy the SSL certificate, issues to *.CORP.CONTOSO, we are unable to access the website usinghttps://intranet. Can it be confirmed if we are required to use the website name ashttps://intranet.corp.contoso ? This URL looks long and seems not appropriate to share with the users.

What are the options/alternatives to resolve the issue - Host the intranet websites on https?

Thanks for the help.
