Authenticating to the Registry

After you log in to the Registry, authentication happens transparently whenever you try to add, delete, or modify a Registry object, because any write request triggers authentication based on the client certificate loaded into your browser.

After authentication is completed, access to the Registry is over https.

When your session expires, you are no longer authenticated by the Registry. A subsequent write request prompts the Web Console to re-authenticate you.

If authentication fails, stop and restart your browser and try again. If you accidentally choose the wrong certificate and have difficulty logging in, see Login Error from Mistake in Client Certificate Selection for information on what to do.
