Installing CA Root for IE Browsers
Each time you access an SSL-enabled Dominion SX unit, you will see a New Site Certificate window. Eliminate
this window’s appearance by either accepting a session certificate permanently or by installing the appropriate root
certificate in your browser. These instructions apply if you use Internet Explorer. For Netscape Navigator
instructions, please see the next section.
Accept a Certificate (Session-Based)
Accepting a certificate from a particular unit means that the Security Alert window will not appear on your screen
when accessing that particular unit. You will have to repeat the acceptance process for each Dominion SX unit you
wish to access in order to eliminate the Security Alert window. To eliminate the appearance of this window for
every Dominion SX unit with a particular certificate, you must install the root certificate in your browser, described
in the
Install the Raritan Root Certificate section that follows.
1. Open IE and connect to the Dominion SX unit’s IP address. The Security Alert window will appear.
2. Click on the [
View Certificate ] button and the Certificate window will appear.

3. Click on the [ Install Certificate ] button. This will install the certificate for the current session.
When the session closes, this certificate will expire and will have to be reloaded upon with the next connection.
Install the Raritan Root Certificate
By installing the Raritan root certificate in IE, you can prevent the Security Alert window from appearing whenever
you access any SSL-secured Dominion SX unit.
1. Open IE and connect to the Dominion SX unit. Enter
Username and Password when prompted, and log on to
the unit.
2. Click on Configuration button in the left panel and then click on the Certificate tab. The [ Remove User
Certificate ] button should be inactive, indicating that a third-party certificate has not been installed and that the
certificate in use is the Raritan default certificate.
3. Click on the [ View Certificate ] button. The code for the Raritan certificate should appear in the Certificate
field.
4. Select the text in the Certificate field and copy it.
