Information Services - SSL Certificates at QMU
Information Services secures some of QMU's websites with SSL Certificates. These certificates encrypt traffic between your computer and QMU's web servers making it difficult for third parties to intercept and read your personal information.
In some cases accessing these sites with certain browsers may result in an error saying the site is not trusted. Despite this error there is nothing to worry about - it just means that your web browser is not yet configured to trust the Certificate Authority which issues QMU's certificates.
This page contains documentation and instructions which will allow you to set up your home computers to trust QMU's certificates and browse secure QMU websites without any problems. You can choose from the following downloads:
