   If you receive a message indicating that the HTTPS certificate for the Secret Server URL cannot be validated and you know the reason why (for example if you are working in a proof-of-concept environment with no external internet connection) you can bypass the message and proceed to connect anyway with an internal, self-signed, or enterprise certificate installed on your mobile device. Secret Server Mobile will remember your choice to bypass the warning so you won't need to manually bypass it each time. This capability is available for regular and web login methods on Android and iOS devices.
