Click OK to close the Certificate window.

Step 10

Click Yes to close the Security Alert window.

The security appliance window opens, signifying the certificate is trusted.

In Response to a Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox “Certified by an Unknown Authority” Window

The following procedure explains how to install a self-signed certificate as a trusted root certificate on

a client in response to a “Web Site Certified by an Unknown Authority” window. This window opens

when you establish a Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox connection to a security appliance that is not

recognized as a trusted site. This window shows the following text:

Unable to verify the identity of <Hostname_or_IP_address> as a trusted site.

Install the certificate as a trusted root certificate as follows:

Step 1

Click the Examine Certificate button in the “Web Site Certified by an Unknown Authority” window.

The Certificate Viewer window opens.

Step 2

Click the “Accept this certificate permanently” option.

Step 3

Click OK.

The security appliance window opens, signifying the certificate is trusted.

Replacing a Digital Certificate with a Trusted Certificate

A trusted Certificate is the most secure option. You can replace the central-site security appliance digital

certificate with a trusted certificate by following the procedures in this section. By default, the security

appliance has a self-signed Certificate that is regenerated every time the device is rebooted. You can

purchase a Certificate from a CA provider like Verisign or Entrust with the name matching the

Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your central-site security appliance (for example,

vpn.yoursys.com), or you can have the security appliance issue a permanent Certificate for itself by

entering the following commands, replacing x.x.x.x with the IP of your security appliance outside or

public address:

crypto ca trustpoint self

enrollment self

subject-name CN=x.x.x.x,CN=vpn.yoursys.com

crl configure

crypto ca enroll self

ssl trust-point self outside

write

When users first connect using AnyConnect, they should click “View Certificate”, install this new

certificate, then click “Yes” to proceed. The next time they re-connect, they do not see the security alert

popup, even if the security appliance is rebooted.
