Title: Remotely hosted web-application using HTTPS sometimes gives "SecurityError".
Post by: fpalmasani on May 10, 2017, 11:22:55 AM
When using a remotely hosted web-application using "HTTPS":

Some browsers will give a "SecurityError" if attempting to connect insecurely using websockets.

We recommend that you install Ranger Remote with WebSocket Secure (WSS) enabled. Enabling WSS at install time will:

  
1. Install SSL certificates for the loopback address to the Microsoft Certificate Store

  
2. Install SSL certificates for the loopback address to the FireFox certificate database

  
3. Configure Ranger Remote for a WSS connection through the loopback address






The option to enable WSS in Ranger Remote is made available at install time through the installer UI or as a command line option. See the following link:

  
How can I install Ranger Remote using the Command Prompt?



There is also a workaround available for FireFox. See the follow link:
