SSL warning

Why browsers show a security warning, and how to make it go away.

SSL certificate warning

Why it appears

When you first connect to UNI, your browser will warn you about an untrusted certificate. This is normal—UNI has to use a self-signed certificate since it runs on your local network, not a public domain. You can safely click past this warning.

Trusting the certificate

To stop the warning from appearing, you can install UNI's certificate authority on your devices. Run UNI at least once first to generate the certificate files, then:

  1. Open data/certs in your UNI user directory
  2. Double-click ca.crt → Install Certificate
  3. Select Local Machine (requires admin)
  4. Place in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
  5. Restart your browser
  1. Open data/certs in your UNI user directory
  2. Double-click ca.crt to add it to Keychain
  3. Open Keychain Access, find the UNI certificate
  4. Double-click it, expand Trust, set to Always Trust
  5. Restart your browser
  1. Open data/certs in your UNI user directory
  2. Transfer ca.crt to your device
  3. Settings → Security → Encryption & credentials → Install a certificate → CA certificate
  4. Select the file and install
  1. Open data/certs in your UNI user directory
  2. Transfer ca.p12 to your device and tap to open
  3. Settings → Profile Downloaded → Install
  4. Settings → General → About → Certificate Trust Settings → Enable trust for UNI
