Certficate Error: Navigation Blocked

Hi,
I've looked all over for this solution and nothing documented, that I've found, has worked.
I'm using IE8 to get to my companies web-based email client, Zimbra, on their Intranet.
I get "Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked"

I'm pretty sure it's because it's the Subject in the Certificate, because it just lists the domain name without the https://.

Regardless, and short of making them re-issue the certificate correctly, how do I avoid getting this error every time I go to this page?

Thanks!

@@mikainz - I've already done that. It still pops up everytime.

@@DaveHowe - it lets me access the site every time, but I have to look at the error and it's an extra step. I've read many places that it 'remembers' you chose to 'continue to the website' but that is not the case for me.

bigtwig: what I am saying is you need to look at what the error message actually says, as it will tell you what it is finding objectionable about the certificate.

Neither suggestion actually worked for me. I changed the URL I was going to to be "http:" and not "https:" and my problem went away. When I try to go to the "https:" URL, none of the suggestions worked, nor did I find anything in EE or in any Google searches. Thanks, Mike

Firefox has a "remember mismatched domains/selfsigned" utility (now built in) but that won't allow you to ignore certificates that are expired/out of date - which is why you need to read the error to see what is objectionable....
