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>
