Changing the Security Certificate to Match

the Name of the Server

If your users are shown a Security Alert window with the following message, you might want to

modify the security certificate so users feel more comfortable with installing the certificate:
"The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site."
You can change the security certificate so that

users receive the following message instead:

"The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view."
When you change the certificate, you must use the generateAppiqKeystore program to delete the
