Allowed hosts management
An allowed host, which you approve by accepting its self-signed certificate, makes it possible to continue your workflow uninterrupted. However, once you get started, take the time to set up signed certificates, which will prevent future hackers from compromising your system.
To access the WorkbenchAllowed Hosts list, click , and click the Allowed Hosts tab.
To access the platform/station Allowed Hosts list, expand Platform and double-click Certificate Management in the Nav tree. Then, click the Allowed Hosts tab.
You may also access the platform/station stores by expanding and double-clicking CertManagerService in the Nav tree.
More than one exemption may be allowed in your Allowed Hosts list. Once you have set up signed certificates for all hosts, delete the exemptions from each Allowed Hosts list (Workbench platform/station).
If, after you approve an exemption, its public key changes, the
system negates the certificate and the green shield icon changes to
the yellow shield icon with an exclamation mark (
).
To approve this change, right-click the certificate row, click View and click Accept in the Detected Public Key Change window.
The orange text in the Detected Public Key Change window indicates the change.
