When you request the console certificate, you can suppress warning messages.

These warning messages appear when the browser detects a mismatch between the attributes of the server certificate and the attributes of the login session to the Oracle Key Vault management console.

1. Log in to the Oracle Key Vault management console as a user who has the System Administrator role.
2. Select the System tab, and then Settings from the left navigation bar.
3. In the Certificates area, click Console Certificate.
4. In the Console Certificate page, click Generate Certificate Request.
