X509 Certificate error

Please refer to the interactive brokers CP Web gateway FAQq in common question section at https://interactivebrokers.github.io/cpwebapi/faq.html

Since the gateway is running on your premises the certificate needs to be created/self-signed by you, or officially signed by a 3rd party. The gateway is similar to another webserver such as Tomcat which doesn’t provide a certificate along with the release.
