Under Authentication to the peer, select a new Local certificate and then select Save.
About certificate warnings
Access to the management tool and the public access interface Login page must occur
through a secure connection (SSL). Until a valid, trusted certificate is installed on the service
controller, certificate warnings will appear at login.
To continue to work with the management tool without installing a certificate, proceed as
follows: At the security certificate prompt, in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, select Continue
to this website; in Firefox 2, select Accept this certificate temporarily for this session
and OK.
To eliminate these warnings you can purchase a valid SSL certificate (from a source such as
Verisign) that will work with the default configuration of your Web browser, and install it on
the service controller.
The following is an example of a security warning displayed by Internet Explorer 7.
