'How to enable TLS on Teradata Express

I have installed Teradata Vantage Express on an Azure VM according to these instructions: https://quickstarts.teradata.com/run-vantage-express-on-microsoft-azure.html - this installs the database on a VirtualBox VM within the Azure VM.

Now I am trying to enable TLS to access the server, as per https://docs.teradata.com/r/Teradata-VantageTM-Advanced-SQL-Engine-Security-Administration/July-2021/TLS-Protection-Options/Using-TLS-with-Client-to-Database-Connections

The trouble is that whenever I run tlsutil to generate a CSR, it runs nodenames which does a reverse lookup on the address assigned to eth0 on the VirtualBox VM, which is always a private address, and so fails.

Has anyone got this to work, and been able to enable TLS on Teradata?
