Hi Jean, It is allowed. I have tried from other server to this server and it worked fine. Account has full admin right to local server and no deny policy be granted. Seem like sth wrong with the cert or ssl from my client because when i tried openssl s\_client myhost:5986, the cert never showed. Thanks and Regards, Thanh.
