Configuring Security Settings

If the SSL VPN administrator has not configured a trusted SSL certificate that

identifies the server, the browser will prompt you with a security alert asking

your permission to access the login page. The security alert indicates that

there might be discrepancies in the certificate. The possible issues are:

The certificate has expired.

The domain name in the certificate does not match the domain name of the

server.

The certificate is not trusted.

You can configure the client to hide this alert.
