Sophos XGS136 admin console from LAN application certificate.

Question

Hi, 
 What am I doing wrong? 
 I have been administrating a new XGS 136 firewall and for some reason accessing the admin console on the LAN side has always reported the https certificate as not valid despite the fact the ApplianceCertificate is trusted. 
 Is there something I need to do to get my browser to recognise the fact that it is valid? I am the only one who accesses the admin console and only ever from the LAN side on the same PC. 
 Cheers.....

Hello Damien, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community. 
 You need to install the certificate on the computer you&rsquo;re using to access it, and you need to access it via FQDN, not via IP. 
 Take a look at this KB .

You need to download the default CA form the firewall which was used to generate this self-signed certificate when initially installing the firewall. 
 To do this, go here: 
 
 Then import this as "Trusted root CA" in your browser.
