Firefox Fails to Load Oracle ILOM Web Pages From CMM Due to Certificate Error

Mozilla FireFox Version: 5.0.1 and later

Oracle ILOM Firmware Release: 3.x.x and later

Oracle Hardware: Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) and Blade Servers

Issue: After successfully logging in to the CMM and selecting a blade server, a certificate error (Your connection is not secure. Go Back or Advanced) appears. After clicking Advanced, the UI control (Add Exception) that enables you to bypass the certificate error and correctly load the web page is not present.

Workaround: To bypass the certificate error and correctly load the web page, follow these steps:

  1. In the CMM web interface, right-click the content frame (frame displaying certificate error) and select "This Frame" > "Open Frame in New Tab".

    Firefox reloads the certificate error in a single-frame display.

  2. In the single-frame display, click Advanced.

    The certificate error message redisplays with the Add Exception button.

  3. Click the Add Exception button.

    A dialog to Add a Security Exception appears.

  4. In the dialog, click Confirm Security Exception to bypass the certificate warning and to continue loading the web page.

  5. Return to the frame that you opened in Step1, then right click and select "This Frame" > "Reload Frame".

    The frame set successfully reloads.

  6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 as needed for chassis component frames that appear without the UI control (Add Exception) to bypass the certificate error.

Update: A fix for this issue is available in later Firefox versions such as version 45.
