Description


The steps to view the certificate are below.

1. Using a browser, go to the HTTPS url for the TDV Web Manager
             https:<hostname>:<base port + 2>

    For instance, if TDV is running at base port 9400, then the secure port will be 9402
             https://localhost:9402/manager/login

2. The browser will provide an option to view the certificate. Typically, this will be a tiny icon next to the browser's url field (or in the browser's status bar). The icon varies from browser to browser (it can be a lock, a triangle, etc.) Use this option to display the certificate.

For example, the screenshot below shows the certificate displayed in :
  • the IE browser
  • the Google Chrome browser

Note: By default, TDV uses a self-signed certificate with the following Issuer details:
CN = cis_server_strong, OU = engineering, O = Composite Software, L = San Mateo, S = CA, C = US
