Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a
problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client
authentication certificate that you don't have. | Stop the Bridge, delete file e2e_bridge_prog/servlets/server.xml, and re-run the same update. |
| The browser is not supported. | Use Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox. |
The URL https://localhost:8080 does not open the E2E Bridge. | The proxy is not bypassed for localhost. | - Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox browsers:
Make sure that you have chosen Direct connect to the Internet or no proxy for: localhost in the browser settings. - Internet Explorer browsers:
Make sure that no proxy is used for local addresses. Choose Bypass proxy server for local addresses in the browser settings. - Instead of localhost you can also write the IP address or the full computer name (see in the Windows system properties: right mouse click on My Computer, Properties). For instance https://e2ebridge.e2e.ch:8080 .
