perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["C. Aaron Smith" <>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for looking into this report.  Both of the links you sent worked
for me in Chrome.  Here is a link to the test box where I see the
problem, it should be publicly available:

https://165.123.50.180/toolkit/

I thought it might be a default cert but it looks like the link you sent
is similar.

Thanks,
Aaron
