What should I do if I get a security warning message when connecting to a library database?
When a library databases switches to a secure website (HTTP - HTTPS), unless a security certificate has been put in place by ITS, a warning message will appear that states that the connection is not private or secure. When this happens, please email claccess@sandiego.edu or contact the Reference Desk at (619) 260-4765. In the meantime, you can bypass the message by doing the following:
Chrome Browser:
- Click on “ADVANCED”
- Click on “Proceed to 0-www.....”
Firefox:
- Click on “ADVANCED”
- Click on “Add Exception”
