Accepting Server SSL Certificates

Accepting a certificate from a server allows you to connect with the server. Once you accept a certificate, it is added to your Trusted Certificates list, and you will not be asked to accept or reject the certificate again. If you reject a certificate, and try to connect again, you will be asked again to accept the certificate.

To accept a server's SSL certificate

  1. Connect to a server with SSL. If the server has a certificate, it appears.

  2. Click Accept. The certificate is added to your Trusted Certificates list.

    If you click Reject, you will not be able to connect to the server.

  2. Expand the Security node.

  3. Click SSL Security.

  4. Click Trusted Certificate. The Certificate Manager appears.

  5. Click a certificate in the list, then click Properties to see detailed information about the certificate.
