Security certificate alerts

An SSL connection is used for secure, browser-based communication with Content Gateway Manager. This connection uses a security certificate issued by Websense, Inc. Because the supported browsers do not recognize Websense, Inc., as a known Certificate Authority, a certificate error displays the first time you launch Content Gateway Manager from a new browser. To avoid seeing this error, install or permanently accept the certificate within the browser. See your browser documentation for details.


	Note If you are using Internet Explorer, the certificate error will still be present after you accept the certificate. You must close and reopen your browser to remove the error message.

Windows 7 considerations

If you are using the Windows 7 operating system, you may need to run the browser as administrator for it to allow ActiveX controls.
