Sure - the certificate is valid and legal, that's not the issue. It's about trust. NOT that I trust the validity of the certificate but that I trust the OWNER of the certificate.
Let's say that the certificate is from ACME Corp. I don't have any relationship with ACME, so therefore I don't trust them or any document that they send me, and don't wish them to do things behind my back. But if the certificate was from Adobe Systems, where I work, I would certainly put them in my trusted list of certificate and then allow their documents to work as expected. If you are doing this in a corporate setting, for your employees, you can easily "push" the certificate and the trust out to them...

The certificate we are trying to use is a valid and legal Corporate certificate signed by GlobalSign. Now since it is a trusted certificate, I assume it should not show that warning right?
