Why Does the Session Page Fail to Load When I Log In to the Managed Host Using a Web Browser?

Symptoms

When a user attempts to log in to a managed resource in CBH, the O&M session page fails to load.

Possible Causes

The browser blocks the request or the system SSL certificate has expired.

Removing the Browser Blocking Restrictions

Updating the System SSL Certificate

A CBH system is configured with a secure self-issued certificate by default. There are restrictions on the authentication protection scope and time limit of the self-issued certificate. To better protect your CBH system, you can replace the self-issued certificate with your own SSL certificate. However, if the self-issued certificate expires or fails to pass the security scanning, update it to ensure the CBH system security.

To secure your CBH system, purchase a trusted SSL certificate and update the system SSL certificate in a timely manner.
