Cannot Verify Server Identity

• If you see this error message, don't panic. It is due to the SSL certificate being registered to a domain other than yours. This is normal. To use this SSL certificate, tap Details.
• Tap Trust in the upper right corner. Occasionally, some phones require you to do this step twice. If so, tap Details and Trust again.
