Updating The Security Certificate For Your Web Browser
 
While browsing university web sites, you may encounter a situation when accessing a valid web site where you get a warning about the security certificate not being from a trusted certificate source. Different browsers will present this information to you in different wording:

    * Firefox:
      "Unable to verify the identity of sitename as a trusted site."
    * Internet Explorer:
      "The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority."
    * Safari:
      "The certificate for this website was signed by an unknown certifying authority. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be sitename which could put your confidential information at risk."

There are three ways to handle this situation. You can choose not to proceed, but won't access the site. You can choose to ignore this message (with or without verifying the certificate details) and click Continue to access the site, or create an exception. If you do decide to do this, make sure you do verify the certificate is a valid one before continuing, else you leave yourself open to malicious tampering from a rogue web site. It is poor security practice to simply click "Ok" or "Yes" without verifying the content of the security certificate.
