Introduction
All Cisco Aironet wireless access points and bridges were shipped in general with an IOS Software.

Generate a CSR for WLC webauthentication
Last week i was instructed to prepare our Wireless LAN Controller to work with

You are prompted to accept the certificate from the WLC, because the clients do not have a trusted root certificate for the certificate that is installed on the WLC.
The SSL certificate on the WLC is not in the list of certificates that the client system trusts.
There are two ways to stop the generation of this web-browser security alert popup window.
