Securing MarkLogic Server

Creating a Security Exception in Internet Explorer

If you have not imported the certificate authority for the certificate template into Windows, when you first access an SSL-enabled server with your IE browser, you will receive an error notifying you that there is a problem with this website’s security certificate. You can bypass this security exception by accepting the certificate. For example, if you enable SSL on the HTTP server, App-Services, each host can accept the self-signed certificate as described below.

  1. 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.

  2. The server responds with a There is a problem with this website’s security certificate notification like this:

  3. Click Continue to this website (not recommended).

  4. Enter your MarkLogic Server username and password at the prompt.
