Fixing the Browser Certificate Error (pink address bar problem)
From TDiWiki
A customer asked: "I need to find out how to turn off the pink background to the address line at the top of the IE8 window for the ConsoleWorks window..."
Usually, following the steps below will work to resolve the problem.
Click on the “Certificate Error” button in the Address bar:
Click “View Certificates”
Click “Install Certificate” (If you don't see the Install button, you are probably using Windows 7 or Windows server 2008. Start your browser in Adminstrator mode by right-clicking on the IE icon and selecting "Run as Administrator", and begin again).
Click “Next” on the “Welcome” screen
Select “Place all certificates in the following store” and click “Browse”
Click “Show physical stores”
Scroll UP to, and open “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”
Select “Local Computer”
Click OK
Click Next
Click Finish
You should see “The import was successful”
Close your browser and restart it.
This would seem fairly straight forward, but as we found on this Solaris ConsoleWorks Server, (version 4.4-0u1 and earlier), certain prerequisites must be made.
The host server configuration must be done correctly before creating the SSL certificate. i.e., the HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME must be configured with the appropriate values. In this case, the HOSTNAME had the full hostname.domainname.com entered. While this may work for some applicaitions, the ConsoleWorks Manage Certificates program will use this information and append a . (dot) to the end of ths string because it requires both the HOSTNAME and DOMAINAME to be configured. The resulting fields in the "View Certificate" screen looked something like this. Issued to: hostname.domain.com. and Issued by: hostname.domain.com. Note the trailing "dot".
By changing the host name, using the hostname command, to just the name of the host with no domain name and adding the domain with the domainname command AND using the steps in the beginning of this article, this particular Solaris problem was resolved.
