Now that the CA's certificate is installed, you should be able to connect from the client Web browser.
- Try to connect again. In the Web browser, enter
https://localhost.
- Read the Security Alert again. This time it shows only one problem, which is that the name in the certificate doesn't match the URL you tried to connect to. This is a warning that the certificate might not have come from the desired Web site, but from another Web site masquerading as it.
- Click
View Certificate. The
Issued To name in the certificate is the DNS host name of your computer, and you were trying to connect to
localhost, and this is the cause of the discrepancy.
- Since this is in fact the desired Web site, click
Close >
OK.
The connection is made, and HTTPS Echo sends a page with identification details to your browser, confirming that the connection has been made successfully. It is normal for most of the strings to be empty, as shown.
