I have an image that is like

https://example.company.org/image

When I type this into the browser it says

The site's security certificate is not trusted!

and then I proceed saying "OK" - it loads up fine . .

To wget this I can do

wget https://example.company.org/image --no-check-certificate

However the problem is that I want this to open up in MS Word (I.e a scenario where the Clipboard (In HTML Format) is copied into MS Word) . How can I bypass this security ? How to make SSL word with MSWord or how do I remove this security altogether for a particular URL only ?

For anyone interested , Server should get a certificate that is valid with a CA bundled with Windows - so that Windows recognizes the https:// That is , the scenario where IE doesn't prompt you for a Security Certificate or doesn't show you the Security Warning in Address bar scenario it will work fine !

  • Indeed. One can manually add root certificates to the trust list, if desired. Dunno about self-signed certificates though.
