When you get these warnings, we encourage you to ask questions and take the time to verify that the certificate is valid. People who steal data are successful in part because users tend to just click on the “Accept” button without reading the details!
9. You will be prompted to enter your Mac’s local account in order to make changes to your computer. Enter the username and password for your Mac (not your campus username/password) and click Update Settings.
