1. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address configured for the library in the format
https://[library IP address] See Enable SSL on page 103 for
information about enabling SSL.
Important:
When using SSL, you must prefix the IP address with https://
instead of just entering the IP address.
2. If you receive a warning about the website's security certificate, choose to
ignore or resolve the warning.
Notes:
The security warning only appears if you did not resolve the security
certificate warning, either by storing a valid security certificate on the library
(see Install a Security Certificate and Authentication Key on page 113) or by
creating a security exception for the library on the browser (method depends
on the browser you are using).
If you do not resolve the warning, you receive the warning about the security
certificate each time you access the BlueScale web interface.
