About Security Certicate Warnings
What is a security certificate?
Sites that employ secure TCP/IP (Internet) connections include a
certificate that confirms that users are connecting to a legitimate site
and are not being redirected without their knowledge. Certificates are
issued by trusted third parties called Certificate Authorities (CAs) and
contain essential details about a site that must match the information
supplied to your Web browser.
Why do I receive a warning when I access the login screen on the
IP KVM switch?
As it redirects you to a secure (SSL) session by default, the login
screen may generate a warning from your Web browser or the VNC
Java client for two different reasons. First, the CA that has issued the
certificate on StarTech.com’s behalf may not yet be recognized as a
trusted source by the computer you are using to access the IP KVM
switch. Second, since the unit could be configured in a number different
ways, it is impossible to supply a generic certificate that will match your
exact network settings.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The security certificate does not affect encryption effectiveness in
any way, nor does it make the IP KVM switch any more vulnerable to
outside attacks.
