asked on

website's security certificate.

I have installed Zenworks on the server, and it's accessed through the web browser internally(when inside the LAN), each time I try to access it by typing on the address bar of the browser https://servername, it comes up with the page showing up in the attached file. I will have to click on "Continue to this website(not recommende)" in order to access the web page.
any work around to prevent this page from showing up?

Thanks

SSL Overview from the Customer's Browser viewpoint

Browser checks the certificate to make sure that the site you are connecting to is the real site and not someone intercepting.
Determine encryption types that the browser and web site server can both use to understand each other.
Browser and Server send each other unique codes to use when scrambling (or encrypting) the information that will be sent.
The browser and Server start talking using the encryption, the web browser shows the encrypting icon, and web pages are processed secured.

The easiest way would be to view and install the certificate localy on the broswer in which you are using to connect to the webpage. Then also add the website to the trusted sites in the security settings of the browser.

The hard way would be to get a real SSL cert that matched the website name that your connecting to. So if you were connecting to http://server.home.com then you would need to get a SSL cert with that name.
