Hey all,  
I just changed our production gateway to HTTPS and cannot reconnect to the Gateway. The browser says it cannot reach this page.

It worked fine on the Developer, not sure what is causing the problem here! How can I undo this??

Thanks,  
mike

First try accessing it at the `http` URL instead of `https`. Maybe try a different browser than Chrome because often it will force you to the `https` URL once you've visited it a single time.

If that doesn't work, you can disable the force secure redirect setting in the `data/gateway.xml` file wherever Ignition is installed.

What’s the address you tried to use? [https://ip:8043](https://ip:8043)?

Solution was to open the port in the firewall 😂
