15.4.5.3 Avoiding Browser Warning Messages
Here are the main reasons your browser displays warnings about the NWA1000 Series’s HTTPS server
certificate and what you can do to avoid seeing the warnings:
• The issuing certificate authority of the NWA1000 Series’s HTTPS server certificate is not one of the
browser’s trusted certificate authorities. The issuing certificate authority of the NWA1000 Series's
factory default certificate is the NWA1000 Series itself since the certificate is a self-signed certificate.
• For the browser to trust a self-signed certificate, import the self-signed certificate into your operating
system as a trusted certificate.
• To have the browser trust the certificates issued by a certificate authority, import the certificate
authority’s certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate. Refer to Appendix A on
page 212 for details.
15.4.5.4 Enrolling and Importing SSL Client Certificates
The SSL client needs a certificate if Authenticate Client Certificates is selected on the NWA1000 Series.
You must have imported at least one trusted CA to the NWA1000 Series in order for the Authenticate
Client Certificates to be active (see the Certificates chapter for details).
Apply for a certificate from a Certification Authority (CA) that is trusted by the NWA1000 Series (see the
NWA1000 Series’s Trusted Certificates Web Configurator screen).
