Additionally, if you access your local AX-3.8 “demo” station using a secure web browser connection (https://localhost if using the default WebService “Https Port” of 443), your web browser (client) will also issue its own certificate warning for this self-signed “tridium” certificate, asking if you wish to proceed. Again, proceeding should be safe in this instance.

(Unrelated to SSL) If you access any AX-3.8 station with a web browser as a user with a “Wb Web” profile, that is “Web Workbench”, in order for the Java-based “WbApplet” to load, your browser client PC requires “unlimited strength policy files” in its Java installation. For more details, refer to “Additional AX-3.8 client-side Java installation steps” in the latest NiagaraAX 2013 Security Updates document.
