using IP address instead of Domain name: Content was blocked because it was not signed by a valid security certificate IE9

Question

due to a servercrash my IIS settings for a website were lost and I do not have the exact settings in hands. So I replaced the domain name with the ip address, and I am getting this error.

Is there a way to accept the security certificate on IE9 and skip clicking Show Content everytime when I get to the website?

Answer 1

No. Certificates are issued to a CN (Common Name) and browsers will complain when the CN doesn't match the address in the browser bar. You need a new certificate issued to the IP address.
