HTTPS/SSL certificate requirements

The HTTPS/SSL certificate has to be signed using the SHA-2 algorithm, or if created in ESET PROTECT On-Prem, the Advanced security has to be enabled (In ESET PROTECT On-Prem navigate More → Settings → Connection).

The Certification Authority used to sign the certificate must be present in the Web Browser HTTPS/SSL certification list.

A web browser will display a warning when connecting to the ESET Inspect Web Console if these requirements are unmet.
