Installing the EUPHORE certificate

When your browser doesn't trust the certificate identity of euphore.es.


To comunicate with the web site in a secure way (when URLs begin with https), the web site sends to the browser a certificate to both encode data and identify itself. As the site euphore.es is not by default in the trusted sites list of the browsers we must install the certificate the first time we follow an https URL.
Depending on the browser, the warning message and how to install the certificate are different. During the process you'll be able to (and should) view that the detailed information of the certificate is this:

  (the grouping and separators vary in every browser)
