  • The following steps are for Microsoft Edge. If you use another web browser, refer to your web browser's documentation or online help for instructions on how to install certificates.
  • Make sure you have created your self-signed certificate using Web Based Management.
  1. Right-click the Microsoft Edge icon, and then click Run as administrator.
    If the User Account Control screen appears, click Yes.
  2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is your machine's IP address).
    For example:

    https://192.168.1.2

    • If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

      For example: https://SharedPrinter

    • If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

      For example: https://brn123456abcdef

    • The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
  3. If your connection is not private, click the Advanced button, and then continue to the web page.
  4. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.
