Issue/Introduction



A self signed SSL certificate was included in server.xml that results in the following message accessing CA CSM from the browser:
There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. 
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
