Disabling security certificate settings

If you do not require secure connections, the security settings can be disabled.
Important: The information below explains how to disable the SSL certificate. Following these steps allows unencrypted connections to the server, including user login credentials. If you require secure connections, create your own self-signed certificate identifying the host by its proper network name, or request a certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
