Avoid the SSL Certificate Error While Opening Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux)

Remove the custom SSL certificate so that you do not get the certificate error when you open the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) web interface. Once you configure the SSL certificate, you do not get the certificate error again.

Follow these steps:

• Use the certificate generated by Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) for the Firefox browser.
  1. Open Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) in Firefox.
  2. Click I Understand the Risks and then click Add Exception.

     The Add Security Exception dialog opens.

  3. Click View to review the certificate.

     The Certificate Viewer dialog opens.

  4. Review the certificate details and click Close.

     You do not have to perform any action on the Certificate Viewer dialog.

  5. On the Add Security Exception dialog, select the Permanently store this exception check box.
  6. Click Confirm Security Exception.

     The certificate is added.

• Use the certificate generated by Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) for the Internet Explorer (IE) or the Chrome browser.
  1. Open Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) in IE or Chrome.
  2. Click Continue to this website (not recommended).

     The address bar is displayed in red and a Certificate Error message is displayed in the security status bar.

  3. Click Certificate Error.

     The Untrusted Certificate dialog appears.

  4. Click View certificates.

     The Certificate dialog opens.

  5. On the General tab, click Install Certificate.

     The Certificate Import Wizard opens.

  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Certificate Store page, select Place all certificates in the following store and then click Browse.

     The Select Certificate Store dialog opens.

  8. Select Trusted Root Certification Authorities and click OK.

     The Certificate Store page of the Certificate Import Wizard opens.

  9. Click Next and then click Finish.

     The Security Warning dialog opens.

  10. Click Yes.
  11. Restart IE or Chrome.

      The certificate is added.

      Note: After you add the certificate, the Chrome browser still shows the error icon for the SSL certificate in the address bar. This is a reminder that the certificate is not identified by the certificate authorities but the certificate is trusted by Chrome and all the data transferred in the network is encrypted.

• Perform the following steps to use a signed certificate:
  1. Use the certificate signed by a certificate authority.
  2. Import the signed certificate using the keytool command.

     The certificate is added.

The ssl certificate error is resolved.
