The site's security certificate is not trusted!

Hello mates,

Is there any way how to get rid of below error message if user is trying to create new VPN site using SecuRemote VPN client ?

Some users within my company are complaining about it and we would like to simply solve it, if possible.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Jozko Mrkvicka

Add the certificate as trusted to user computers?

If you want to avoid seeing this alert, either distribute and install the self-signed certificate from your gateway or cluster to the users' PCs or define an A record in your external DNS for your gateway's public IP, buy the certificate issued by public CA and import it in your Gateway's or cluster's properties:

This is what I had to do, (the text between << and >> is my comments). The gw8010.mycompany.com<http://gw8010.mycompany.com> is my gateway, the “gw8010csrfile” and “gw8010privatekeyfile” and other references to particular file and certificate names, should be replaced with your own values:

<<
Original, from documentation: cpopenssl req -new -out <CSR file> -keyout <private key file> -config $CPDIR/conf/openssl.cnf

actual required: cpopenssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -out gw8010csrfile -keyout gw8010privatekeyfile -config $CPDIR/conf/openssl.cnf

Get the gw8010csrfile and gw8010privatekeyfile from the gateway to your PC using WinSCP Open gw8010csrfile in Notepad++ on windows or any editor on Mac and copy its content into clipboard In your CA's portal, paste the 2048 bit CSR into provided form and create a certificate Download the Certificate (works in TomCat format), with certificate chain included. It will typically be a .zip file containing .pem and two .crt files. The weirdly named file is, if you are using GoDaddy, the one assigned to your gateway/cluster.


cpopenssl pkcs12 -export -out <output file> -in <signed cert chain file> -inkey <private key file>
Example: cpopenssl pkcs12 -export -out gw8010.p12 -in e5472599cd25bd68.crt -inkey gw8010privatekeyfile
