Use the Configure > SSL > Validation > Verification Bypass page to allow users to visit a site when certificate verification fails.
1.
Select Permit users to visit sites with certificate failure after confirmation to enable users to proceed to a site after they have been informed that the site has an invalid certificate. If this check box is not selected, users do not have the option to browse to the site.
2.
Select Enable the SSL session cache for bypassed certificates to store information about bypassed certificates in cache and reuse the connections.
*
If this option is selected, not all users are notified that they are trying to access a site where verification has failed.
*
If this option is not selected, all users are notified about sites that do not have valid certificates.
3.
For Timeout, specify the period of inactivity that elapses between notifications to users who bypassed this site that the site has an invalid certificate. The default is 6 minutes (360 seconds).
It is recommended that you deploy initially with bypass verification enabled. Then, as the incident rate changes, you can use the incident list to enforce policy. See Managing Web HTTPS site access.
