Addressing certificate errors

Depending on how your Windows environment is set up, you may have to specify a trusted host certificate in order to enable multi-factor authentication. If you do not do this, you will see an error message during installation and configuration.

In a production environment, it is strongly recommended that you specify an existing trusted host certificate from a known third-party certificate authority, such as GoDaddy or Verisign. Using a self-signed certificate in a production environment can leave your environment vulnerable to security breaches.
