3.Resolve the warning about the web site’s security certificate. The warning displays because the nTier700 does not have a valid security certificate.
Notes: This warning only appears if you have not resolved the security certificate warning as described in this step.
If you choose to skip this step, you will receive the warning about the security certificate each time you access the BlueScale web interface.
As new browser versions are released, the process for resolving the security certificate warning may be different from what is described here.
The absence of the certificate does not affect functionality. If you want to eliminate this warning, purchase your own security certificate from www.verisign.com, www.instantssl.com, or another SSL certificate vendor and install on the nTier700 server.
