The only way to avoid SSL certificate errors from "self signed" certificates (like those typically used at NRAO) is to permanently accept them. To do this:
- click on
Show Certificate
when you get the Unable to verify SSL server ??.cv.nrao.edu dialoge
- press the
option
key on your keyboard, and drag the certificate
icon to your desktop
- double click on the desktop icon for the
certificate
- when the Add Certificates dialog come up select the
X509Anchors
keychain
- click
OK
Now, this certificate is permanently added to your list of accepted certificates and you shouldn't be prompted again.
