2 Installing Management Group security certificates
Management Group security certificate installation overview
Each Management Group uses a unique self-signed Management Group security certificate to
manage login access.
When browsing to a Management Integration Framework interface, if there is no trusted certificate
authority to attest to the certificate, then connection to the machine is blocked. This condition is
indicated by an error message on the login dialog box.
If this occurs, the certificate for the Management Group can be installed in the browser as a trusted
certificate authority. After installing the certificate and refreshing the browser, the connection will
no longer be blocked. Installation of a certificate on a given browser is only required one time per
Management Group.
If there is more than one Management Group in your environment, you may need to install the
certificate for each group.
