Certificate Error on localhost
Hi - I am trying to prevent "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." warnings when connecting to an internal wallboard system on the company server. The connection is https.
When I go to view certificate it is issued to 'localhost'. I can continue to install it and it tells me that "import was successful" but it makes no difference.
Any ideas?

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If the URL is not localhost, I don't think that importing the certificate will matter. The warning is telling you the host names are different. You should reissue the certificate with the proper host name to correct the problem.
You must import the certificate to all computers and devices that will be accessing that server. If you don't have access to all devices that will access it, you must get a certificate from a publicly trusted certificate authority, GoDaddy, Verisign, etc.
Or if it's only internal clients you can use OpenSSL to self-issue a certificate for the actual hostname being used.
