Resolution

Before proceeding, note the following details about this procedure:

  • Generally, you should not modify any Advanced Configuration settings unless instructed to do so from a KB article or the direction from the SolarWinds Support team.
  • The IgnoreCertificateErrors settings applies only to nodes for which the UCS Manager is added via HTTPS.

 

To configure the Orion Platform to reject invalid certificates during UCS monitoring, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Orion Web Console as an administrator.
  2. In the address field of the web browser, enter:

    http:// (your host name)/Orion/Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx : Global tab 

  3. When the Advanced Configuration page opens, clear the IgnoreCertificateErrors check box for UCS.Settings.  
  4. See Shutdown and restart Orion services with the Orion Service Manager to use the Orion Service Manager to restart the following services:

  • SolarWinds Orion Module Engine
