Joining CCM to Certify Management Hub

Question
1

I was pointed in the direction of Certify the Web by a colleague and decided to set up a test environment that has the components I use certificates on in my personal environment (e-mail, Bitwarden and an Apache based web service) and deployed a Management Hub and installed the Certificate Manager (7.0.17.0) on the Windows machine that gets a certificate, but I can’t get the manager to join the hub ( assume I’d have the same issues with the Linux agent on the other machines). If I use http://My.Hub.FQDN:9697 (HTTPS is not currently set up on it which isn’t too bad because at this point it’s just for testing and if I do end up using it, it’ll never be internet accessible) as the guide suggests, I get a message stating that the target machine actively refused it. If I use port 8080, I get ‘Could not connect to Management Hub. Unauthorized - Access token unknown, expired or revoked.’. I’m assuming that ‘Client ID’ is entered on on the client so when it joins the hub, that identifies it, and the ‘Client Secret’ is actually the joining key?

Am I missing something? Does anyone have any suggestions?

From your description i guess you did not use the ClientID and ClientSecret from Management Hub → Settings → Security (Management Hub as Target Instance) → API Access and entered their values to the CCM Client? Both values look like GUIDs
Port 8080 is correct in your setup as you did not yet set up SSL for your Hub.

I was definitely derping hard there lol. That was what I had wrong. I was using the secret from there, but for some reason I wasn’t registering that the ‘Client ID’ under ‘Assigned API Access’ was what was supposed to go there.

Thanks for giving me a kick in the right direction!
