  • I get an error message when accessing the monitoring system via browser. How do I solve this problem?

    Some modern browsers do not allow connection to our monitoring system. We use Firefox for access and make the following modifications there to allow access:

    1. Enter "about:config" in the URL line

    2. Search for tls on the about:config page

    3. Activate the "security.tls.version.enable-deprecated" option with a double-click (the option is then set to "true" and marked in black and bold).

    4. Set the option security.tls.version.min to "1" (this option is also black and bold afterwards.)
