Connection not private (first time cockpit access)

Ok, when installing NS7 and trying to access Cockpit (or any httpS) page on the server with Google Chrome results in the displaying of the infamous message “Connection is not private” access denied and NET::ER_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. And there you are, not able to access Cockpit to set correct certificates and such.

Try this:

  • Access the ‘connection not private’ page
  • Use the mouse and click somewhere on a blank part on the page
  • Type: thisisunsafe (simply type it on your keyboard)
  • Refresh the page

And you should be presented with the proceed button at the bottom, despite the warning.

(This trick will add the page to a safelist)

HTH Did it work for you?
