Security Certificate Issued Was Not From A Trusted Certificate Authority

Since we migrated to the new RSA SecurID Appliances 3.0, we always get a Security Alert notification that the security certificate was not from a trusted Certificate Authority when logging on to the RSA Security Console.

 

To remove this alert, the following steps need to be carried out to save the RSA Self-Signed Root certificate on the RSA Authentication Manager’s admin console:

1.    Log on to the RSA Security Console via URL: https://<FQDN>:7004/console-ims
 

2.    Since this certificate is not trusted by the browser, a Security Alert warning is displayed. In Windows Internet Explorer, click Continue to this website (not recommended).

3.    Next, a red Address Bar and a certificate warning appears.
 

4.    Click the Certificate error button to open the information window
 

 

5.    Click View Certificates to continue. The web certificate is presented to you. Click on the top tab labelled Certification Path.

  

6.    Double click on the untrusted certificate "RSA Authentication Manager Root CA" and click Install Certificate... 

 

7.    The Certificate Import Wizard appears. Click Next to continue.

 

8.    Choose "Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate" and click Next to continue.   

 

9.    Click Finish and follows by Yes to import the certificate when a warning message appears. Click OK to continue.

 

10.  Continue to click OK through the screens to get back to the main window.

 

These steps must be performed with Internet Explorer on any machine that will browser to the Authentication Manager Consoles.
