Security Certificate Alert Appearing with Off-Campus Login

Beginning in December 2009 and as a result of an upgrade to our proxy server, a user may see a series of security warnings upon first attempt to login to a database or e-journal from off-campus. This a result of an incompatibility between our security certificate vendor and browser software. It is beyond our control.

Go through the messages and select “Accept the exception”. Microsoft Windows users should run a Windows update. The warning will not appear again for the same computer.

If you have questions, please contact dbhelp@library.umass.edu.
