Hi All


I have installed SSL Certificate in my IIS and when I redirect to Https IE
shows a Security Alert Dialog. Is there anybody who knows how to disable or
block that Security Alert so that when any user access my Secured Page he
will not get Security Alert Dialog. Any help will be appreciated and thank
you in advance.


Regards

i hope not. if a server could do that then you could bypass valid warnings
about bad certificates and possibly cause a security problem for the user.

Is this the large dialog that includes 1 or more warning triangles
indicating that something in the certificate is not trusted? The only way to
do this is to ensure that the SSL Certificate is signed by a root CA trusted
in IE by default (eg. VeriSign, Thawte, Entrust) and that the CN used
matches the host name in the URL. If you don't do both of these, then
there's no way to bypass the warning, which is a good thing or else anyone
could create a certificate and spoof another entity.

Fiaz.
Where did you get the certificate that you installed on the IIS server.
It is possible to add the certificate to the trusted root store (or if a
multi-tiered CA hierarchy, the root of the chain to the trusted root
store.

More details are required to recommend the best method for you. You
*never* want to disable that message. In fact, what are the errors you
are getting. Is it just the trusted root, or are other issues raised in
the dialog box.
