Web browser certificate error

The Microsoft Edge browser may display a certificate error and prevent users from signing in to the platform.

Scenario

  • Your OS is Microsoft Windows 10 or later.

  • Your web browser is Microsoft Edge.

  • When you try to sign in to the EclecticIQ Platform, Microsoft Edge displays a certificate error page.

Issue

It is not possible to sign in to the EclecticIQ Platform. This issue can occur when a web browser does not accept a third-party or a self-signed certificate. The EclecticIQ Platform uses a self-signed certificate.

  1. Make a local copy of the platform self-signed .crt certificate.

    To request a new copy of the certificate, or for assistance, contact EclecticIQ support.
