Connected Edge Device with self-signed certificates or certificates from the IEM

When you create a new Edge Device in the Management UI with self-signed certificates or certificates from the IEM itself and enter the IP address of the Edge Device into the Internet browser, you notice that the connection is not secure. After you browse the created configuration file of the Edge Device and connect the Edge Device to the IEM, the connection to the Edge Device is still not secure. Import the self-signed certificates or the certificates from the IEM itself to the settings of the Internet browser according to the Importing certificates to the Internet browser subsection and to the Edge Device according to the Importing certificates subsection, both described in the Industrial Edge Management - Operation manual. After you have imported the certificates, refresh the Internet browser of the Edge Device UI. The connection is secure now.

Connected Edge Device with wildcard or SAN certificates

When you create a new Edge Device in the Management UI with wildcard or SAN certificates and enter the IP address of the Edge Device into the Internet browser, you notice that the connection is not secure. After you browse the created configuration file of the Edge Device and connect the Edge Device to the IEM, the connection to the Edge Device is secure. This secure connection requires that the CA-chain is imported to the settings of the Internet browser.
