I've loaded v12 onto my VM. I'm able to SSH as the CLI user, but I'm unable to launch the GUI. I get an error message that states, "Bad Request. This combination of host and port requires TLS."

TLS is enabled, what am I missing?

Bad Request
This combination of host and port requires TLS.

Hi @Nicole Orner,

Just to cover the most obvious ... verify that you're using https://<guardium ip or hostname>:8443. It's easy to overlook the "s" when the url isn't cashed or saved yet.

Wendy, thanks for responding, yes I'm using HTTPS. :)

I'm not sure what the issue was. I haven't changed anything, yet today I'm able to access the UI.
