Trouble with NoMachine web access in Internet Explorer

[murali]

Hi Guys,

I am using Enterprise Desktop evaluation version of NoMachine on my Linux desktop, loaded with Ubuntu 16.04 in it. I wanted to connect it to the windows 7 machine. These Windows and Ubuntu machines are connected locally by a switch. I wanted to access Ubuntu desktop in my Windows internet explorer browser. I am getting a certificate issue but after clicking not recommended in the browser, I can able to access the desktop. But I wanted to bypass this certificate issue. Is there a way to do this. Please help me…

URL: https://ip_address:4443/nxwebplayer

internet explorer version : IE10

Thanks

Hi Murali,

Installation comes with a self-signed a SSL Certificate File and SSL Certificate Key file intended to be just a sample. They are, respectively:

installation directory/etc/keys/host/ht_host_rsa_key.crt
installation directory/etc/keys/host/ht_host_rsa_key

Administrators have to replace the sample SSL Certificate File and Key File with their own certificate self-signed or acquired from a CA.
Please, read more here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT03O00127#3

However, if you prefer, it is possible to use HTTP. all you have to do is to disable redirection on NoMachine server side.

To do that, please edit:

InstallationDirectory/etc/htd.cfg

and remove or comment out following lines:

<VirtualHost _default_:*>

RewriteEngine on

ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^4443$

RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_ADDR}:4443/nxwebplayer [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

restart nxhtd server:

InstallationDirectory/bin/nxserver --restart nxhtd

After that, you can access NoMachine Web Player by typing

http://<IP address>:4080
