Certificate problem

Jeff T — Thu, 28 Oct 2004 14:14:38 GMT

HI all, I walked into a new job where there is an insight manager7 server that does appear to be sending out mail alerts.. BUT I cannot login to the application locally. When I try I get an error window.
"Host Mismatch: The host name on the Security Certificate does not match the name of the Server"
I dont really understand how to setup the certificates.

Anyone ever experienced this?? Any ideas

Thanks

Jeff

Try https://servername:2381 or
https://server_IPaddress:2381
Host mismatch often comes from the situation when certificate is issued with only server name, but then it is accessed using DQDN i.e. full address or vice versa

Hey Andrei, Thanks for the help That did help me get to a login page asking for a administrator, operator or user credentials.. The deal is that a contractor came in to set this up and no one knows what he set these passords too. are there any ways of hacking this administrator account..

Thanks
