Problem Solution.<br />
You get this warning because the default installation of IK creates self signed<br />
certificates. The Certificate Authority (CA) that signed the certificate is not known as a<br />
trusted root CA by the browser.<br />
The solution is to add the certificate in the list of trusted root CAs.<br />
