Connecting to a web server using an invalid certificate for the Edge Gateway¶
When connecting to web servers with a Web or Reverse Proxy application whose certificate is not considered valid by the Edge Gateway, the user will receive an erreur 500 in their browser.
Depending on the case in which the web certificate is not recognized as valid, a different solution may be applied.
What checks are performed to validate a certificate?
- The current date must fall within the certificate's validity period.
- The certificate must be issued by a trusted certification authority.
- The certificate must cover the web server access name (DNS name or IP address).
- The certificate must not have been revoked.
-
The certificate is not trusted
When the web server certificate is not issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA), this CA can be added to the trusted CAs.
-
The certificate is invalid for other reasons
When the web server certificate is invalid because it has expired or does not cover the name used to access the web server, the only remaining setting is to disable certificate checking by the Edge Gateway.
