The Qalyptus Server Certificate is invalid
In a default installation of Qalyptus Server, a self-signed certificate is generated and used. When using Qalyptus Server with https, you have the option of using the self-signed certificate signed by Qalyptus or a certificate signed by another authority.
However, if you use the default certificate, the connection will appear as non-trusted on the browser of client computers. Thus, during your interactions with Qalyptus Server, you will have the following error message ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID.
This message can also appear if you use a domain name for Qalyptus which is different from the one used to link your certificate with Qalyptus Server. See Qalyptus Server Configuration.
There are 3 solutions for the connection to appear as approved:
Use a certificate bought from a third-party trusted Certificate authority (such as VeriSign, GlobalSign or trusted Enterprise CA). Please follow the steps in the Qalyptus Server Configuration in order to add the certificate to Qalyptus server.
Add the self-signed certificate generated by Qalyptus Server to the store "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" on the client computer.
Warning: this action must be performed on each client computer that uses Qalyptus Server. It is recommended that the Active Directory domain administrator configures a domain policy to distribute the certificate to each client.Add the certificate to the list of exceptions. Type the URL of Qalyptus Server (with https) in your browser then, depending on your browser, agree to continue browsing to Qalyptus Server. The browser will add your certificate to the list of exceptions.
Warning: Chrome and Internet Explorer use the default Certificate store in Windows, for Firefox you will have to install the certificate in the browser (Tools > Options > Advanced > Certificates: View Certificates)
