Installing Dominion SX CA-Root Certificate to a Browser
The CA Root Certificate generated in the Dominion SX unit must be installed in the browser in order for the
browser to trust the Server Certificate . When the user connects to the Dominion SX unit by entering the IP address
in the browser, the Server Certificate is downloaded. The browser then checks if the Root Certificate is present in its
CA list, which indicates signed Server Certificates. If the verification is successful, the Security Alert will not
appear.
