Secondary work-arounds are:
- Use a different browser
- Use an older version of Chrome
- Delete the ECC self-signed certificate on the NMC and generate an RSA cert. The commands can be performed via the CLI:
- apc>ssl key -d
- apc>ssl key -rsa [1024|2048|4096]
- Use the CLI Security Wizard and a 3rd party certificate authority to create a signed certificate
