Follow these steps:

• Use the certificate generated by CA ARCserve D2D for Linux for the Firefox browser.
  1. Open CA ARCserve D2D for Linux in Firefox.
  2. Click I Understand the Risks and then click Add Exception.

     The Add Security Exception dialog opens.

  3. Click View to review the certificate.

     The Certificate Viewer dialog opens.

  4. Review the certificate details and click Close.

     You do not have to perform any action on the Certificate Viewer dialog.

  5. On the Add Security Exception dialog, select the Permanently store this exception check box.
  6. Click Confirm Security Exception.

     The certificate is added.

• Use the certificate generated by CA ARCserve D2D for Linux for the Internet Explorer (IE) or the Chrome browser.
  1. Open CA ARCserve D2D for Linux in IE or Chrome.
  2. Click Continue to this website (not recommended).

     The address bar is displayed in red and a Certificate Error message is displayed in the security status bar.

  3. Click Certificate Error.

     The Untrusted Certificate dialog appears.

  4. Click View certificates.

     The Certificate dialog opens.

  11. Restart IE or Chrome.

      The certificate is added.

      Note: After you add the certificate, the Chrome browser still shows the error icon for the SSL certificate in the address bar. This is a reminder that the certificate is not identified by the certificate authorities but the certificate is trusted by Chrome and all the data transferred in the network is encrypted.

• Perform the following steps to use a signed certificate:
  1. Use the certificate signed by a certificate authority.
  2. Import the signed certificate using the keytool command.

     The certificate is added.

The ssl certificate error is resolved.
