Approving the allowed host
The TLS certificate encrypts data transfer. To use HTTPS (secure) communication, the default self-signed certificate must
be approved or a signed server certificate imported into the User Key Store and the root CA certificate that signed it into
the system or user trust store. This procedure approves the default, self-signed certificate, which provides data encryption
but does not verify server authenticity.
Prerequisites: You configured a new camera, connected to it and accepted its self-signed server certificate.
After your first connection attempt using a browser, this procedure makes sure that you approve the self-signed server certificate
from the camera using the platform/station Certificate Management view. This is required for web views to work properly.
Perform the following steps:
- In
- Expand the Platform node in the Nav tree and double-click Certificate Management.The Certificate Management view opens to the User Key Store tab.
- Click the Allowed Hosts tab.The software displays the certificate as a row in the table.
- Select the certificate and click Approve.After approving the certificate encrypted communication between the station and camera begins.
