  • 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).

    • 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

      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.
