HTTPS/SSL is not working

Subject:

When accessing the QuantaStor Web GUI using HTTS you will see a "Not Secure" message as seen in the screenshot below:

Detail:

QuantaStor uses Self-signed certificates. It looks like starting with Chrome 56.x Google is not showing the SSL certificate except under the Developer tools as shown in the below screenshot:

If you are using a Chrome browser connected to a QuantaStor system and you see "Not Secure" message this does not mean HTTPS is not working, but that the certificate is self-signed and not from a trusted root authority that Google is aware of.

Note: This symptom only occurs on Chrome browsers and can be avoided by using a different browser.
