SmartConnector extension using HTTPS EWS endpoint - The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure

[mike_meirovitz]

Hi,

I am trying to run our SmartConnector processor using HTTPS endpoint. 

The EWS address is "https://192.168.1.17:4410/EcoStruxure/DataExchange".

My localhost IP address is 192.168.1.17.

My HTTPS port number is 4410.

I am using EBO 1.9

I have set the security settings to "Redirect web clients to HTTPS"

When I try to start our SmartConnector processor, I get the following error:

"2020-12-17 16:41:04.7925,Info,Processor,<no principal>,Validation Prompt for EBO OPC Item Discovery Processor: MayNotContinue : Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel with authority '192.168.1.17:4410'.
The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure."

Can anyone tell me what am I missing? Is there any user's guide available that explains how to deal with HTTPS and certificates?

Thank you.

Michael

I am logging into the EBO workstation using HTTPS. Each time I login, I get the attached dialog. I can't check the "Always trust this certificate"…
I click on "Trust Certificate" button and then I login into the EBO.
I also tried clicking on Certificate details and installed the certificate.

Is this the certificate the SmartConnector is looking for?

Thank you.

Mike
