Enabling and disabling certificate validation

You can enable or disable certificate validation from the Security > Settings screen.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you disable certificate checking only in test environments where certificate checking is not required. When disabling certificate checking, use only the local user account and not enterprise directory accounts. No checking is performed on the connection to the directory server, which can compromise a user's directory credentials. If certificate validation is disabled, the appliance is subject to MITM (man-in-the-middle) security attacks. Hence, use the Certificate validation option with utmost caution.
