Configure Your Browser to Trust a Self-Signed Certificate

If you use the default Reflection Gateway certificates, you will see a certificate warning when you connect to the Gateway Administrator and the Transfer Client. You can use the following procedures to remove these warnings without modifying the server certificates.

NOTE:The procedures below are appropriate for testing. They may also be appropriate if only a small number of users access Gateway Administrator. However, before you deploy the Transfer Client to end users, or provide administrative access to a larger number of users. you should configure Reflection Gateway to use certificates signed by a well-known Certificate Authority. (See Replace the Default Server Certificate.) With the updated certificates in place, the following procedures are not necessary.
