    The certificate first appears in the keychain with a red cross. The certificate in the keychain must still be trusted at least for Secure Socket Layer (SSL). To do this, open the certificate in the keychain and select "Always Trust" in the "Secure Socket Layer (SSL)" area.
    The next step is to set up the SWG proxy.
