**Error:** Connection error 596: error:0A000086:SSL routines::certificate verify failed  
**Status:** ✅ Fixed

## Solution

The SSL certificate verification error has been fixed by regenerating certificates on all Proxmox nodes using:

```bash
pvecm updatecerts -f
systemctl restart pveproxy pvedaemon
```

---

## What Was Done

1. ✅ Regenerated SSL certificates on all cluster nodes (ml110, r630-01, r630-02)
2. ✅ Restarted pveproxy and pvedaemon services
3. ✅ Created fix script: `scripts/fix-proxmox-ssl-simple.sh`

---

## Next Steps

1. **Clear browser cache and cookies**
2. **Access Proxmox UI:** `https://<node-ip>:8006`
3. **Accept certificate warning** if prompted (first time only)

---

## If Issue Persists

- Clear browser SSL state
- Try accessing via direct IP address
- Check system time synchronization
- Verify services are running: `systemctl status pveproxy pvedaemon`

**Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
