Hi Thomas, Thanks for your reply. I understand that the self signed cert will issue a warning, but actually i installed a trusted cert and the issue seems to only arise when I browse to other sites on https (SSL). For example, when in the captive portal, if i enter www.google.com (it redirects to https:/www.google.com) in URL box, it gives a cert error stating that the certificate is only valid for www.mysite.com. Is this suppose to happend or is there a way to avoid this issue? The error does not occur when browsing http sites like yahoo.com.
