To avoid this, you have two choice.
Register/trust the certificate in you browser or register the CA you used to
signe the certificate (useful if you have to use multiple certificate
for different
purposes or if you will have to update your certificate often).

To make the registration easy, you can link your certificate from your cite.
Click on the link and you browser will ask you if you want to register
the certificate.
