Configuring Trusted Connection

VAO UI uses SSL to ensure secure data communication between VAO and a web browser.

When you install VAO, you can generate or choose a self-signed certificate. In this case, when you try to access the VAO UI in a web browser, the browser will display a warning notifying that the connection is untrusted (although it is secured with SSL).

To eliminate the warning, import the self-signed certificate to client machines (the machines from which you plan to access the VAO UI website).

If you want to use the certificate generated during VAO installation:

Log in to the machine where VAO is installed.
Open the Microsoft Management Console snap-in.

Navigate to Certificates > Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates.
Export the Veeam Self-Signed Certificate following the instructions provided in this Microsoft KB article.

Import the Veeam Self-Signed Certificate to client machines.

For details on importing SSL certificates, see this Microsoft KB article.
