SharePoint 2013 Central Administration URL

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if you could please share you ideas on the following.

How I can configure my current Central Administration which configure on http://xxxxxx:5555 on default zone to be respond on https://xxxxxxx as well on different zone at the same time.

I have added https://xxxxxxx under AAM for the web application of the Central Administration and bind a server certificate in IIS so the Central Administration site can respond on both http & https URLs above but i'm getting the following error when try to access the https URL only while the http url still working fine.

Getting Error Message for Exception System.ArgumentException: Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' was thrown. Parameter name: encodedValue
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimEncodingManager.DecodeClaimFromFormsSuffix(String encodedValue)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimProviderManager.GetProviderUserKey(IClaimsIdentity claimsIdentity, String encodedIdentityClaimSuffix)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimProviderManager.GetProviderUserKey(String encodedIdentityClaimSuffix)

Thank you...

Please check whether you configure AAM correctly as following steps.

1.Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Alternate Access Mappings -> Edit Public URLs.
2.Go to AD server -> DNS Manager -> New Host.
3.Go to Manager Computer Certificate -> SharePoint All tasks -> Import -> Import the SSL Certificate.
4.Go to Central Administration -> Security -> Manage trust -> New.
5.Go to IIS -> Sites -> SharePoint Central Administration v4 -> Bindings.
