EMS access from web browser

Trying to access EMS from any browser and get an empty page with CONT|0|.

 

Any ideas?

It seems you visited the EMS server using the port 8010. Try using regular HTTPS, with port 443.

 

Note that the EMS server will only accept connections if you visit by the host server name (say, [link]https://<server_name>).[/link] See also page 9 of the EMS Basic Setup Guide.

Thanks! It works with server name. However shouldn't it work also with ip address?

 

Anyone knows if this will be fixed?

It was intended as a protection. If some one scouts the network and discovers the IP address, they also will need to know the server name or FQDN in order to visit the EMS console.
