Accepting a Self-Signed Certificate When Logging in to the Array OS Using Firefox

This procedure describes using the Firefox browser to accept a self-signed (untrusted) certificate when logging in to the array GUI for the first time, or when logging in after the certificate on the array has changed. If pop-ups are disabled in Firefox, you must accept the certificate, then enable pop-ups and accept the certificate a second time.

NOTE: For more information about managing certificates, refer to the "Secure Sockets Layer Certificates" section in the CLI Administration Guide.
