# Does AlertBot Accept Self-Signed SSL Certificates?

Currently, AlertBot only recognizes **SSL certificates** that come standard in Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser. Because of this, AlertBot cannot recognize self signed SSL certificates. If your site uses a self signed SSL certificate, the tests run on the monitor for that site will fail because it will be unable to verify the certificate. This is a feature that will most likely become available in the future.
