Accessing the Grid Management Pages through LifeCycle Manager

Note: Sometimes when you are accessing either the Grid Management Pages or the Configuration Manager from within the LifeCycle Manager, you may be presented with a window concerning the certificates. This is because the grid uses a self-signed root certificate as the issuer of grid certificates (client, host, SSL). Certificates issued by the grid root certificates are not by default trusted in browsers and in the Lifecycle Manager client like certificates issued by public certificate authorities such as VeriSign, EnTrust, and Thawte are. In order to permanently trust certificates, the grid root certificate must be imported into the Trusted Root Certificates store in each browser used. This situation is the same for the Lifecycle Manager client.

Use this procedure to access the Grid Management Pages if you are working within the LifeCycle Manager.

Note: You can also access a Java Web Start accessible version of the Grid Management Pages and an HTML-based version of the Grid Management Pages. For more information, see:
