Importing Certificate Authority into a browser

You must import Certificate Authority (CA) into a browser to prevent certificate errors when accessing the HCL OneTest™ Server UI.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

  • Saved a CA during the installation of HCL OneTest™ Server.

    You can run the following command to get the certificate from the system

    kubectl get secret ingress -n test-system -o jsonpath={.data.ca\\.crt} | base64 -d
    Remember: test-system is the name of the namespace. If you created a namespace by using a different value, then you must use that value in place of the test-system.

  • Installed a browser which you use to access HCL OneTest™ Server.
