Certificates without prompting

From Three Rings

This page is about configuring your web browser to send your Three Rings Certificate without prompting you every time you log in.

If you use a certificate in your calltaking office you may have seen popup boxes like those shown below. It is possible to suppress these so that your volunteers don't have to confirm every time that they want to send the certificate to the server. Find the instructions for your web browser below.
