How to create a certificate to avoid the message: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

 

Hello all,

When a screen layout is generated with WebIQ, for example, a URL is created with a secure adres.

This is a secure URL. The server on the ctrlX Core displays the site, which is opened with an external web browser (panel). The customer's screen (in this case an Eton panel) usually requires a security certificate.

This gives an annoying message at startup: Message: NET :: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID.

Now it is the case (and we are already a bit used to it) that both the UI of the ctrlX Core and the screen generated by Web-IQ are opened with this message. You don't want this with an end user. What needs to be done to stop getting this message. How and where to create this security certificate. Where should it be installed.

As there was no response but topic seems still to be open:

JohsH Could you add a more detailed explanation what you are doing? I also think we need to separate things like webiq-sk mentioned. 

  • Which ctrlX CORE app versions are used?
  • Which WebIQ version is used?
  • You are accessing ctrlX CORE web UI and WebIQ HMI on the other side?
  • Could you add screenshot of the browser pages you are accessing showing the error?
  • What is the URL you try to access for HMI?
  • Can you reproduce the behavior mentioned, so we could do some tests?
  • Did you test any of the solutions mentioned?

For general warning when accessing ctrlX CORE web UI see attachment in the first answer of Sgilk.

The similar problems mentioned by HmiGuide were caused by iframe integration in HMI screens and restrictive behavior of chrome/chromium based browsers. These are solved by using ctrlX CORE version 1.20 and WebIQ version 2.14. In that case the HMI is fully integrated in our reverse proxy and both sources are collected to a single one.
