Description This article describes how to troubleshoot an issue with accessing GUI management from a MacOS device.

This issue is caused by a security setting on MacOS which prevents other browsers from accessing the local network. To enable this setting, navigate to Apple menu -> System Settings, then select Privacy & Security. Finally, select Local Network and enable the browser being used to access the GUI.
