Chapter 1 Introduction
Remote User Interface
The Security Alert dialog box appears only on the first connection attempt to a given security appliance.
After the connection is successfully established, the “thumbprint” of the server certificate is saved in the
preferences file, so the user is not prompted on subsequent connections to the same security appliance.
If the user switches to a different security appliance an
d back, the Security Alert dialog box appears
again.
For detailed information and examples of ins
tances in which the remote user does or does not see the
Security Alert dialog box, see Adding a Security Certific
ate in Response to Browser Security Alert
Windows, page 2-4.
