Re: HMC (hardware management console) web security certificate not trusted

Rob,

Firefox in fact has the option to ignore this once. When you click to "add
exception" there is a box that is ticked by default that says something
along "add forever", I've used it succesfully to ignore just once a bad
cert (an expired one on a website), next time i opened firefox, bam warning
again.

Best Regards,

Roberto

The reason you get this message in IE and not Firefox is that FF does not
give you a choice between "just ignore it this once" and "ignore it
forever". It just chooses "ignore it forever". I use IE for my HMC just
to remind me to one day get around to fixing this issue.

I get the same message in IE, but not Firefox. I like using IE for the
HMC because it displays more information. I would also be interested if
anyone has eliminated that message.

I assume that your HMC displays the same behavior as mine when:

in web browser, I get to my HMC at https://10.0.0.105

The messages shown below appear, and I

click on: 'Continue to this website (not recommended)'

so as to get to the HMC admin screen.

IBM tech support explained to me long ago that the caution message
occurs because of the certificate IBM uses.

So, do you experience this with your HMC also, or did you manage to
eliminate the message?
