As an alternative to purchasing a web server certificate, you can install the certificate in the list of "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities". The procedure in IE7 is as follows:
- Browse to the secure web server. IE7 will report "There is a problem with this website's security certificate.", with a further explanation "The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority."
- Click on "Continue to this website (not recommended)", the ClearSCADA home page will now be displayed.
- Click on the button marked "Certificate Error". A "Certificate Invalid" window will appear.
- Click on "View Certificates". The "Certificate" dialog showing the server generated certficiate will appear.
- Click on "Install Certificate...". The "Certificate Import Wizard" will appear.
- Click "Next >".
- Select the option "Place all certificates in the following store".
- Click "Browse...". The "Select Certificate Store" dialog will appear.
- Select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and click "OK".
- Click "Next >" on the "CERTIFICATE Import Wizard".
- Click "Finish" on the "CERTIFICATE Import Wizard". A "Security Warning" dialog will appear.
- Click "Yes" on the "Security Warning" dialog. A "CERTIFICATE Import Wizard" will appear saying the import was successful.
- Click "OK" to close the ""CERTIFICATE Import Wizard" dialog.
- Click "OK" to close the "CERTIFICATE" dialog.
- Close down IE.
After this procedure the user should not get any errors when browsing to the secure web server.
Future versions provide the capability to generate a Certificate Signing Request to allow a Verisign (or similar) web certificate to be created. This will resolve the limitations of the method described above.
New Feature: This feature was added in ClearSCADA 2007 R0.1
