Re: HMC (hardware management console) web security certificate not trusted

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Firefox in fact has the option to ignore this once. When you click to "add
exception" there is a box that is ticked by default that says something
along "add forever", I've used it succesfully to ignore just once a bad
cert (an expired one on a website), next time i opened firefox, bam warning
again.

Best Regards,

Roberto
