Hi Melissa, Your emulator may have some options for certificate handling that prompt the users if the certificate is not trusted, allowing them to trust it so they will not be prompted in the future. Or, it may also have an option to always trust invalid certificates, preventing the message from appearing at all. The connection will still be encrypted, but the client will ignore the fact that the root certificate is not installed locally.
Since switching to SSL requires a configuration change on each client, you may be able to set one of these options. You may also have the opportunity to put the certificate on the machine at this time as well. Some emulators use the MS certificate store allowing you to push your root certificate to IE using Active Directory group policy. If the root certificate must be in a private store for the emulator, you may be able to push it out with your software distribution tools.
