When I try to view a secure page, the browser complains that the site certificate doesn match the server and asks me if I wish to continue. Should I continue?
The host name of the Web server is an unalterable part of the site certificate. If the name of the host doesn’t match the name on the certificate, the browser will notice this fact and alert you of the problem. Sometimes this is an innocent server configuration issue, but it can also be evidence that a server certificate has been stolen and is being used to fool you. In most cases, it’s best to abort the connection and close your browser.
