In the event you see the Certificate Verification Failed dialog box, clicking on “Continue” here will generate a

state.
NOTE: If your browser cannot connect to a DR Series system after a certificate installation, you may need to
reset the certificate from the command line interface (CLI) using “maintenance --configuration --

included in the certificate.

1. Select Support → SSL Certificate in the navigation panel.
The SSL Certificate page is displayed.
