Invalid certificate

Hello,

#1) unfortunately, the behavior related to certificate exceptions is different for each browser. In Firefox, you can check the "Store this exception permanently" and it will remember this setting even after reopening the browser. However, Internet Explorer and Chrome will remember the exception only for the current browser session. There are two ways how to deal with this permanently (you can choose one which is more acceptable for you):

A.) Installing valid trusted certificate to VMan In order to install valid trusted certificate to VMan follow these steps: Get or create a valid security certificate Go through steps in KB http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/4397/Adding+an+SSL+Certificate+to+Virtualization+Manager in chapter "To add a certificate from a certificate authority" B.) Disabling use of HTTPS for the embedded views To disable use of the HTTPS protocol for the embedded views do the following: Open the Database Manager tool on the main Orion server Click on the Add default server In the Orion database (by default SolarWindsOrion) find the WebSettings table and double click on it Execute the query and find record where SettingName=VManWebsiteUrl Edit this row and change protocol from https:// to  http:// and also port number (with default settings you should change it from 443 to 80) Save the changes After performing the above steps the embedded view should be loaded without use of SSL upon reloading page.

#2) After resolving the issue with SSL certificates you should be logged to the embedded view automatically. If it doesn't work for you check that you have allowed third party cookies in your browser.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Option B works if you leave the port at 443 just change the url to http://

Thanks all for your help
