How to bypass certificate errors using Microsoft Edge


When attempting to access the local git server page Microsoft Edge displays a certificate error because the git server is using a self-signed certificate. I would like to enable access to this specific web host and bypass the error message. This can be done in other browsers, but apparently Edge doesn't provide a way to override certificate handling or make exceptions.

Error message:

This site is not secure. DLG_FLAGS_INVALID_CA


Solution

  • Just type the letters: thisisunsafe.

    Just click anywhere on the tab to give it focus (no button), and type the letters. (The letters will not be visible or show up in a field or anything.) After completing the words, the website loads, but will show as 'insecure' in the left of the address bar.

    Edge will mark the website as "allowed", unless this operation is done in an inPrivate window. After it's saved, it works even with inPrivate.
