If you have not imported the MarkLogic Server certificate authority into your Chrome browser, when you first access an SSL-enabled server, you will receive an error notifying you that you have accessed an untrusted server. You can bypass this security exception by accepting the certificate. For example, if you enable SSL on the HTTP server, App-Services, you can accept the self-signed certificate as described below.
-
Access the server with this URL:
https://gordon-1:8000/Note:
Remember to start your URL with HTTPS, rather than HTTP. Otherwise, the browser will return an error.
-
The server responds with a Your connection is not private notification like this:
