Need assistance on working with API on nodeRed

[Phillip_Mobley]

Hello all,

I have a simple question. I am working with Node Red to setup a HTTP Request to login to my MAX BR1 mini HW 3. I send it the login command and I get back this error:

“RequestError: Hostname/IP does not match certificate’s altnames: IP: 192.168.0.1 is not in the cert’s list: : https://192.168.0.1”

Could someone assist me with this? Is there some issue with BR1? Is there some additional configuration that I need to implement?

You’re seeing the certificate error that is also visible if you go to https://192.168.0.1 in the browser.

Guide on How to Begin Using Device API The Device API has been open to users since Firmware 8 and it is a set of HTTP endpoints. Each endpoint is an HTTP GET request or POST request with JSON arguments and JSON responses. The access port is the same as that configured for Web Admin access. For security reasons, however, the API should always be used under Secure HTTP (HTTPS) access. Still, you need the knowledge about how to create a client, generate a token, then access it. Please see the l…

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Yes, when I go to the web configurator, I see the error.

How do I get the device to ignore certificate errors?

Also, I can confirm that I am using the API. This error happened when I used Curl.

You said you were using the http request object in node red.

If using curl use the -k option to accept insecure certs.
