To suppress security warnings in NSP browser sessions

Purpose

The following steps describe how to prevent the repeated display of security warnings in a browser that connects to the NSP using a private-CA-signed or self-signed TLS certificate.

Note: You do not need to perform the procedure if the certificate is signed by a public root CA, which is trusted by default.

Steps
 
1 

Transfer the NSP ca.pem certificate file to each client host on which you want to suppress the browser warnings

2 

Perform one of the following.

  1. Import the certificate to the certificate store of a client OS.

    Note: This method suppresses the display of NSP-related security warnings for all client browsers.

    Perform the appropriate procedure in the OS documentation to import the certificate; specify the certificate file as the certificate source.

    Note: Such a procedure varies by OS type and version.

  2. Import the certificate to the certificate store of a client browser.

    Perform the appropriate procedure in the browser documentation to import the certificate; specify the certificate file as the certificate source.

    Note: Such a procedure varies by browser type and version.

3 

Open a browser session and verify that the NSP opens without the display of security warnings.
