There can be three reasons why a security alert is generated for a security certificate:
• The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust.
• The date of the security certificate is invalid.
• The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.
When a security alert is generated, the user can decide whether or not to trust the host.
The Active Self Certificates table on the Certificates screen shows the certificates issued to you
by a CA and available for use.
For each self certificate, the following information is listed:
• Name. The name you used to identify this certificate.
• Subject Name. This is the name that other organizations will see as the holder (owner) of this
certificate. This should be your registered business name or official company name. Generally,
all of your certificates should have the same value in the Subject field.
• Serial Number. This is a serial number maintained by the CA. It is used to identify the
certificate with in the CA.
