Refreshing The Secure Certificate Used By The YOA Remote Desktop WebClient

Refreshing the secure certificate used by the YOA Remote Desktop WebClient

Each year, the YourOfficeAnywhere secure certificate has to be replaced on all the servers within our remote desktop infrastructure. Customers who use Remote Desktop WebClient to launch their applications may see the following error after this change.


This happens because the old certificate is cached on the computer that is used to access the remote applications. To force a web browser to download the new certificate please see the following guides, as the process is different for each web browser;
