Remote Access Security Certificate

The security certificates for the city's remote access Web sites were issued by the City of Batavia's Information Systems Department. Because we're not a globally-recognized certificate provider, web browsers will present a warning about the integrity of the security certificate. Depending on how sensitive the browser is to certificate problems, it could make our remote access sites more difficult to use.
