MLR 3G 2.0
Operating Principle
9.2
Access via the HTTPS Protocol
The web interfacee allows a safe configuration of the MLR 3G 2.0 using the HTTPS
protocol. The HTTPS protocol allows the authentication of the servers (i.e. the MLR
3G 2.0) as well as encrypting the data transmission.
If the MLR 3G 2.0 is accessed via the HTTP S protocol fort he first time, the browser
indicates that the MLR 3G 2.0 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is
not trusted, because the certificate of the Certification Authority (CA certificate) is
unknown.
You can ignore this warning and add an exception fort his server or establish the
safe connection to this server nevertheless (depending on browser and operating
system).
We recommend, downloading the CA certificate CA_MoRoS.crt from the certificate
page (http://www.insys-tec.de/en/certificate/) and import it into your browser, to
trust INSYS MICROELECTRONICS as Certification Authority. Proceed for this, as de-
scribed in the documentation of your browser.
If INSYS MICROELECTRONICS is registered as Certification Authority with your
browser and you access the MLR 3G 2.0 again via the HTTPS protocol, the browser
indicates again that the MLR 3G 2.0 uses an invalid security certificate. The certifi-
cate is not trusted, because the Common Name of the certificate differs from your
input in the address bar of your browsers. The browser indicates that a different
device is detected under this URL. The Common Name of the certificate consists of
the MAC address of the MLR 3G 2.0, while the colons are replaced with underscores.
You can ignore this warning and add an exception fort his server or establish the
safe connection to this server nevertheless (depending on browser and operating
system).
In order to eliminate this browser warning as well, you have to enter the Common
Name of the MLR 3G 2.0 to be accessed into the address bar of your browser. In or-
der to route the URL to the correct device, the Common Name must be assigned to
the IP address of the MLR 3G 2.0. You can find out the Common Name by
downloading the certificate from the MLR 3G 2.0 and viewing it. This process de-
pends on your browser. The process for configuring the assignment depends on
your operating system:
.
Editing /etc/hosts (Linux/Unix)
.
Editing C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows XP)
.
Configuring your own DNS server
Refer to the documentation of your operating systems for more information about
this.
