Manage VPN Self-Signed Certificates
Instead of obtaining a digital certificate from a CA, you can generate and sign your own digital
certificate. However, a self-signed digital certificate triggers a warning from most browsers
because it provides no protection against identity theft of the server. (The following figure
shows an image of a browser security alert.)
A security alert can be generated for a security certificate for three reasons:
• T
he security certificate was issued by a comp
any you did not choose to trust.
• The date of the security certificate is invalid.
• The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match
the name of the site.
