I'm attempting to automate some tests against an intranet application that uses https for a connection. The test server being used does not yet have a "real" certificate and instead is using a local certificate from a host machine. This causes both Internet Explorer and Firefox to throw a certificate error.
In Firefox, I can add the site as an exception so that it no longer impedes the script. It doesn't appear there's a way to do that (store the site as a certificate exception) in Internet Explorer 7 or 8. Does anyone have a workaround?

Hello Aaron Hockley,
Did you try adding your test site to IE's list of trusted sites?

Yes, adding the URL to the Trusted Sites was the first thing I tried. It doesn't seem to have an effect on the certificate error.

Hi Aaron Hockley,
I'm afraid I do not know of a way then. I asked a couple of my colleagues and they don't know either.
However you could try creating a dialog handler using the WebAii framework's dialog handling feature so that the certificate error is handled for your... or is does this certificate error prevent any access to the test site in IE? In other words if testing the website manually, is there a way to "accept" the error and continue to the website anyway?

Well, duh, that was too easy. I simply scripted clicking on the link to bypass the error.
| // IE is throwing a certificate error, the next two lines bypass the warning |
| var linkOverride = ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<HtmlAnchor>("overridelink"); |
| linkOverride.Click(); |
