Hello there!
Thanks for helping out! You are indeed correct.
The "untrusted" error that is reported in your browser when using the built-in Lansweeper certificate indicates that the SSL certificate used does not match your local website. This is to be expected, as the default certificate delivered with Lansweeper cannot match your local web console. When Lansweeper is installed, it will automatically install a self-signed SSL certificate for when users want to use HTTPS initially. The pre-installed Lansweeper certificate is only there to serve as an example.
For future readers, to use HTTPS in your Lansweeper environment, do the following:

Just in case it helps someone, the PW is Lansweeper but it's of limited use since it's really only meant to be a certificate for access on the same machine as Lansweeper is installed on (i.e. localhost). When accessed on that machine (assuming the cert is installed in the right places) and you're accessing it by the name localhost, the browser won't show an https error.
However, if you're accessing it from another machine on the LAN, it always will, because you can never access it by the name localhost, which is what the certificate requires (that is its DNS name). So, if anyone is looking for a way to avoid the browser nag when accessing LS from other machines, this isn't the cert to use.
