How to Configure the SSL Crtificate Warning for Search in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (en-US)

How to Configure the SSL Crtificate Warning for Search in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (en-US)

Farm administrators can configure whether or not the crawler ignores Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate name warnings that occur when the SSL certificate name does not exactly match the name that was expected. We recommend that you configure the crawler to ignore SSL certificate warnings only if you trust that all sites you crawl using SSL are legitimate. Note that SSL certificate warnings are not ignored, by default.

Note: You must be a farm administrator to complete this procedure.

  1. Complete one of the following steps depending on the status of your installation.

    • If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is installed:

      1. In Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, in the Shared Services Administration group, click a shared service.

      2. On the Shared Services Administration page, in the Search section, click Search administration.
      3. On the Search Administration page, in the Crawling section, click Proxy and Timeouts. The Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page appears.  
    • If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is not installed:
      1. In Central Administration, on the Application Management tab, in the Search section, click Manage search service.
      2. On the Manage Search Service page, in the Farm-Level Search Settings section, click Farm-level search settings. The Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page appears.

  1. On the Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page, in the SSL Certificate Warning Configuration section, select the Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box if you want to trust that sites are legitimate even if their certificate names are not exact matches. Otherwise, ensure that this check box is unselected.

  2. Click OK.
