Hi all If you get tired of accessing the "VMware Infrastructure Web Access", everytime with a red warning about how dangerous this your own site is while it is not, you'll have to import the rui.crt certificate of the VMware hosting server into your certificate store, Trusted Root Certificate Authorities. This is easy to do from within Internet Explorer. Just click the certificate info key icon, choose import and so on. No error messages and all looks fine. The only problem is that even though no error messages, nothing happens really. The certificate does not import. For a couple of days - on and off - I have been struggling with this googling countless pages of all kinds of info related to certificates, VMware, and Internet Explorer with zero results until I located this page: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30768023/sbs-certificate-refuses-t.aspx The key tricks are two: 1. Run Internet Explorer as Administrator 2. Don't just import. Tick the "Show physical stores" tick box and select the "Local Computer" subfolder within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities folder. That worked. /gustav
