Server Administrator Central Web Server:

discretion. It is recommended that you use it only in trusted Intranet environments.

NOTE: When you launch Server Administrator using either Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer, an
intermediate warning page may appear displaying a problem with security certicate. To ensure system security, it is
recommended that you generate a new X.509 certicate, reuse an existing X.509 certicate, or import a certicate
chain from a Certication Authority (CA). To avoid encountering such warning messages about the certicate, the
certicate used must be from a trusted CA. For more information about X.509 Certicate Management, see X.509
Certicate Management.
NOTE: To ensure system security, it is recommended that you import a certicate chain from a Certication
Authority (CA). For more information, see the VMware documentation.
NOTE: If the certicate authority on the managed system is valid and if the Server Administrator web server still
reports an untrusted certicate error, you can still make the managed system’s CA as trusted by using the
certutil.exe le. For information about accessing this .exe le, see your operating system documentation. On
supported Windows operating systems, you can also use the certicates snap in option to import certicates.
