Self-Signed Certificate Trust

To trust the self-signed certificate in your browser:

  1. Start EFTLink and EFTLink-Rest-API service.
  2. Open your browser.

  3. Navigate to https://localhost:8443/.

  4. The browser will warn you that your connection is not private. Click on Advance.

  5. Click Proceed to localhost (unsafe).

  6. Disregard the 404 not found error.

  7. Your browser is now ready to communicate with the REST API using your code in the HTML file.

  8. As an additional check to ensure the REST API service is running, you can perform a ping-pong test.
  9. Enter https://localhost:8443/ping into your browser.

    You should receive a “pong” response.
