Install HTTPS Certificate

To connect BioStar X via HTTPS, you must register the IP address of the server where BioStar X is installed to install the certificate.

When certificate installation is required​

If you access BioStar X without the HTTPS certificate installed, a security warning like the following will appear in your web browser.

These warnings appear because the browser cannot verify the identity of the server. Installing the certificate will make the browser trust the BioStar X server, allowing for a secure HTTPS connection without security warnings.

Certificate installation​

Install the certificate before using BioStar X for correct network connectivity.

  1. Access the BioStar X login page.

  2. Click the Download HTTPS certificate installer link at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Save the cert-register.zip file locally.

  4. Extract the downloaded file and run the cert-register.exe file. The Enroll Certificate program runs.

  5. Select BioStar X for Target System, enter the IP address of the PC where BioStar X is installed in Server Address, and click Enrollment.

    The default port number for BioStar X is 443. If you changed the port number, enter the new port number in Port.

  6. Check the security warning message and click Yes.

Restart the web browser and enter the registered IP address to navigate to the BioStar X page. When you click the icon to the left of the address bar, the message This connection is secure will appear.
