- Open an Internet browser window and enter https://<IP address or hostname of the NIOS appliance>.
- Accept the certificate when prompted.
A certificate warning appears during the login process. This is normal because the NIOS appliance generates a self-signed certificate when it first starts, and your browser does not have a trusted CA certificate or a cached NIOS appliance server certificate (saved from an earlier connection) to authenticate the NIOS appliance certificate. Also, the hostname in the default certificate is[ www.infoblox.com,|http://www.infoblox.com/] which is unlikely to match the hostname of your NIOS appliance. Consequently, messages appear warning that the certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority and that the hostname on the certificate is either invalid or does not match the name of the site that sent the certificate. Either accept the certificate just for this session or save it to the certificate store of your browser.
To eliminate the certificate warning, generate a new self-signed certificate or import a third-party certificate with a common name that matches the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) of the appliance. This is a straightforward process. For information about certificates, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide. - Log in using the default user name and password admin and infoblox.
