Configure SSL certificate validation for Asset Inventory polling

This topic also applies to SolarWinds SCM, which supports Asset Inventory polling.

By default, SAM ignores warnings that occur when validating SSL certificates on target systems during Asset Inventory polling. You can change that setting so users are prompted to verify untrusted connections before proceeding. .

To edit this setting in SAM:

  1. Log in to the SolarWinds Platform server as an administrator.
  2. Use the SolarWinds Platform Service Manager to stop all SolarWinds Platform services.
  3. Copy the following text: /Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx

  4. Paste text into your browser address bar, after /Orion, as shown here:

    <your product server>/Orion/Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx

  5. On the Global tab of the Advanced Configuration page, scroll down to the AssetInventory section.

  6. Select the CimVerifiesServerCertificate check box, and then scroll down to click Save.

  7. Restart SolarWinds Platform services in the SolarWinds Platform Service Manager, and then wait a few minutes for changes to occur.
