Quick Tip - Installing Root Certificate

With the secure technology we are using, you may see Security Alerts pop up on your screen. To find out how to prevent this from happening, read the questions and answers below.

How do I stop Security Alert pop-ups from appearing each time I go to the FundSERV login?

Installing the root certificate to your browser will stop most of the security alert pop-ups from appearing when you access the site.

What is a root certificate?

A root certificate is a self-signed certification authority (CA) certificate that identifies a CA (for example: the FundSERV Certificate Authority). It is called a root certificate because it is the certificate for the root CA. The root CA must sign its own CA certificate because, by definition, there is no higher certifying authority to sign its CA certificate.

Why should I install the FundSERV root certificate?

Installing the FundSERV root certificate allows your browser to know that the server certificates issued to FundSERV applications are trusted. It will thereby eliminate most of the pop-up messages that appear each time you access the secure web pages.
