15.5.5.2 Avoiding Browser Warning MessagesHere are the main reasons your browser displays warnings about the NWA3000-N series AP’s HTTPS server certificate and what you can do to avoid seeing the warnings:
•The issuing certificate authority of the NWA3000-N series AP’s HTTPS server certificate is not one of the browser’s trusted certificate authorities. The issuing certificate authority of the NWA3000-N series AP's factory default certificate is the NWA3000-N series AP 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 B on page 305 for details.
15.5.5.3Login ScreenAfter you accept the certificate, the NWA3000-N series AP login screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom of the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.
