¶ Why do I need an Exium Root Certificate?
Web browsers use Root Certificates when loading SSL encrypted web pages. If the proper certificate is not installed on the device, the user can get error messages when browsing.
Exium users on mobile devices are presented with a certificate warning page while getting website/ URL blocked notification (splash) page. This requires you to install Exium Root Certificate on your mobile devices to allow us to show the notification page in secure https SSL/ TLS encyption form.
