Issue : When browsing to the Advanced Web Scanner URL, the browser complains that site is not secure due to an expired certificate.

Root cause: This issue occurs because the certificate has expired for ephesoft.inc.ca. This certificate is used by EphesoftTransactScannerService.

Screenshot:

Browse to https://localhost:60001.

You will see the message “Greeting from Ephesoft Scanner Service.”

This determines if the scanner service is running but the URL is not secure.

When you view the certificate, it shows as expired.
