How to resolve the SSL warning when logging in to SiteWorx

Problem

If you use a Nexcess dedicated server, most browsers create a warning when you log into SiteWorx.

Solution

You may ignore this warning. We use a self-signed SSL certificate for SiteWorx on our clients’ dedicated servers to prevent malevolent entities from impersonating nexcess.net.

Every SSL certificate contains two parts: identity verification and encryption. Most browsers verify the identity of the site through a third-party service, such as Comodo. Though our self-signed certificates are fully encrypted, they cannot be verified by third parties. Even though your browser issues the warning, you may ignore the warning in this context. Most browsers will permit you to ignore the warning and will store the SSL certificate’s legitimate status for future access.
