Why do I get "HTTPS certificate not trusted" Why do I get "HTTPS certificate not trusted" when I try to add devices to AXIS Device Manager?

Answer

“HTTPS certificate not trusted” is shown when AXIS Device Manager discovers devices that can be contacted only through HTTPS, but where the AXIS Device Manager doesn’t trust the server certificate installed on the device.
There are two possible reasons for this:
The Axis device runs AXIS OS version 7.20 or higher which is preconfigured with a self-signed certificate.
The device is configured with a server certificate from another CA than the one configured in AXIS Device Manager.
To be able to add the devices to AXIS Device Manager anyway, go to Configuration > Security and enable Ignore certificate validation.
