Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not
trusted, and asks if you want to proceed.
The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the

You have two options:
If you are working on a computer at another location, accept the •
certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

on your computer (see below for details). After the certificate is

After accepting/installing the certificate, a login page appears:
Provide a valid username and password (set up by the system
administrator), then click Login to continue.
Note: 1. If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return a message
stating, Invalid Username or Password. Please try again. If you exceed the number
of login failures set by the administrator, a message stating that The page cannot
be displayed, appears. This is done to confuse and discourage hackers from trying
to discover a valid username and password. If you see this message, try logging in
again being careful with the username and password.
2. If you are the Administrator and are logging in for the first time, use the default
Username:administrator;and the default Password: password. For security
purposes, we strongly recommend you remove these and give yourself a unique
username and password (see section 7.6.1,UserManagement).
