If you see a "certificate error" in your browser, you can fix it by creating a trust relationship with the device.
Each HoloLens generates a self-signed certificate for its SSL connection. By default, this certificate is not trusted by your PC's web browser and you may get a "certificate error". You can securely connect to your device by downloading this certificate from your HoloLens over USB or a Wi-Fi network you trust and trusting it on your PC.
- Make sure you are on a secure network (USB or a Wi-Fi network you trust).
- Download this device's certificate from the "Security" page on the Device Portal.
- Navigate to: https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>/devicepair.htm
- Open the node for System > Preferences.
- Scroll down to Device Security, select the "Download this device's certificate" button.
- Navigate to: https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>/devicepair.htm
- Install the certificate in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store on your PC.
- From the Windows menu, type: Manage Computer Certificates and start the applet.
- Expand the Trusted Root Certification Authority folder.
- Select the Certificates folder.
- From the Action menu, select: All Tasks > Import...
- Complete the Certificate Import Wizard, using the certificate file you downloaded from the Device Portal.
- From the Windows menu, type: Manage Computer Certificates and start the applet.
- Restart the browser.
