Installing the NIU Security Certificate for Opera

The NIU Security Certificate will prevent warning messages when opening NIU web-based applications requiring authentication.

Since browsers do not share data, install the certificate on each browser. For example, a certificate installed on Internet Explorer will not work for Opera and vice-versa. Note that your screens may be drawn differently or contain other information, depending on your operating system and the certificate being installed.
