Hi! I am new to WebRTC and trying to build web conferencing web app. I am running my OpenVidu Server in my Windows computer using Docker. I also read the Troubleshooting/FAQs section for windows users. I followed the instructions and I am able to see the OpenVidu dashboard by logging in, ran the test and web cam worked. Then in my app.js, I followed the insecure-js tutorial on how to use /api/sessions to create session and a confirmation box appeared about “No connection to OpenVidu Server. This may be a certificate error at [https://192.168.99.100:4443](https://192.168.99.100:4443)”. It threw error code: 401 unauthorized. I even pressed OK button and redirected me to [https://192.168.99.100:4443/accept-certificate](https://192.168.99.100:4443/accept-certificate) and the only thing I can see was ‘accept-cert’ text and nothing happened. My web cam shouldn’t be working during testing right? Here’s my code: > $.ajax({ > type: “POST”, > url: OPENVIDU\_SERVER\_URL + “/api/sessions”, > data: JSON.stringify({customSessionId:sessionId}), > header: { > “Authorization”:"Basic " + btoa("OPENVIDUAPP: " + OPENVIDU\_SERVER\_SECRET), > “Content-Type”:“application/json” > }, > //callback > }) I’m sorry I’m confused. Thank you very much. ---

If you are using Docker for Windows (instead of Docker Toolbox), please start your docker container with this command: ```auto docker run -p 4443:4443 --rm -e OPENVIDU_SECRET=MY_SECRET openvidu/openvidu-server-kms:2.13.0 ``` And let us know it it works. ---

Hi! I tried the command but unfortunately it won’t let me access the OpenVidu Server Dashboard and the page says localhost refused to connect. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openvidu/original/1X/f30b9cc5dc029d92291feca028e6d93645817728.png) I turned off my firewall but I was not able to access the OpenVidu Server Dashboard. Thank you very much for the assistance. ---

Let’s start again. Do you have Docker Toolbox (based on Virtual box), Docker for Windows or Docker for Mac? If you are using Docker Toolbox, can you execute the following command? `docker-machine ip default` You have to use the value returned by the command as the OpenVidu IP. It is typically `192.168.99.100` (but can be different). Can you show us the logs shown when you start openvidu docker container? Can you show us what happen if you open the url: [https://localhost:4443/dashboard](https://localhost:4443/dashboard) https://\:4443/dashboard Thanks ---

If you do not plan to fork or improve OpenVidu and you just want to use it, please follow the instructions to deploy it dockerized. Regards
