You may come across the following issue when trying to access the University Library FiNDit service. If so, please review the following:


Your connection is not secure  |  Access eResources directly

"Your connection is not secure" message - what does this mean? And how do I fix it? 

Due to an update, you may notice that when you go to a website provided by the Library, you may see something like the following warning:



 

If the warning message contains the 'ipacez.nd.edu.au' or 'library.findit.nd.edu.au' text/url, please proceed through the warning by:

  1. Clicking on the Advanced button somewhere in the message
  2. Then 'Proceed...' through to the site
    (Please note that Firefox requires users to 'Add Exception' and then 'Confirm Security Exception')
