A:

The certificate you are using to provide SSL on your server is not issued by a certificate authority the Google recognises as valid. Most likely reason is that you are using a self-signed certificate generated within Server.app or Keychain.app. Another possibility is that you've bought the wrong certificate from a recognised authority.

 

If your server needs to be accessed by just you, tell your browser to accept it. If it's needed for a small workgroup you can generate an appropriate certificate authority and then push this to the clients. If you are providing e-commerce you need to pay $$$ to a recognised CA.
