ESXi 6.7 host on a local network: easiest way to get rid of the https certificate warning?

I run a single ESXi 6.7.0 host on a local network. Whenever I go to its web interface to manage it from my computer, I get the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate (...) Continue to this website (not recommended). " warning.

What's the easiest way to get rid of this warning? For example, is there a way I can simply make my computer accept the ESXi host's current certificate?

I do not use vCenter server.

Hi,

Just add the certificate to your trusted certificates on the computer your accessing the web interface from.

When you use firefox you can add it to the certificate store from firefox.

- click on advanced

- click on Add Exception

- click on Confirm Security Exception

Or replace the certificate with a certificate signed by your CA. But you asked the easiest way ...
