I am using a CentOs laptop and I am having a problem when opening the browser. I need to use the 127.0.0.1 address to access an internal application in the laptop using the browser interface.
The problem is that every time I open the browser there is a message that shows up:
Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch.
You have attempted to establish a connection with 127.0.0.0. However the security certificate presented belongs to "uashost7". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may e trying to intercept your communication with this web site.
If you suspect...
And I have to click OK if I want to open the browser. I have the option to view the certificate as well, and it gives information about the SSL Client and Server and the fingerprints.
Why is this happening?
Is there a way to avoid this, adding 127.0.0.1 into some file?
If uashost7 points to the local machine, rather than entering 127.0.0.1, enter uashost7 in the browser. (have a look in /etc/hoosts if it doesn't work when you try it)
