Reinoud,

First, please download and install a new version of the IDV. The version
currently installed is quite old.

You can turn on debugging when starting the IDV from the command line with the
"-debug" flag.

Ensure that there is no firewall at your institution that is preventing access
to the catalog.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support

> Description of problem: I am trying to load a thredds catalog over HTTPS. The

> Questions:
> 1. The server has an invalid (self-signed) SSL certificate which may be the 
> cause of the error. How can I disable certificate checking?
> 2. How can I increase the debugging level of the IDV so more information is 
> shown?
