Cause

Avaya Aura® Device Services is using ID certificates issued by System Manager/ Private/ Third-party CA and this CA certificate is not available out of the box for the browser and it does not trust the System Manager/ Private/ Third-party CA.

Solution

  1. Install Enterprise CA certificate.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For example, System Manager/ Private/ Third-party CA's on the user's machine, where the user is accessing Workspaces in the browser. So that the browser can trust System Manager/ Private/ Third-party CA certificate and can access the Avaya Aura® Device Services APIs for search.
