I keep getting "This connection is untrusted" errors in Firefox when trying to access my cPanel via SSL (https://example.com/cpanel). The secure pages work fine when I'm accessing my shopping cart and checking out (which is the important thing, otherwise my customers couldn't be purchasing my products!)
However, it would also be nice to know that my backend environment (cPanel, etc.) is secure, and be able to access it as such. Any ideas how to resolve this?
FYI, the complete error message given by Firefox is:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to vps.example.com:2083, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

Technical Details
vps.example.com:2083 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
I Understand the Risks
If you understand what's going on, you can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is
tampering with your connection.
Don't add an exception unless you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.
