Again its not a web page its global protect used only by employees, maybe 6 at most, to remote into the network to do work. I don't understand how global protect could be spoofed like a web page and our home web site is hosted by a 3rd party. I get the feeling people have been programmed to assume that a self signed cert is bad when really its not. 3rd party providers get hijacked as much or more than anyone else.
Sorry, I am not being clear. Here is what I am trying to say: Don't teach your users to ignore certificate errors. Issue a certificate from an authority trusted by your users computers on all official employee sites. When we teach users to ignore errors on our own deploys they just get used to clicking through those errors as a matter of course. This makes them more vulnerable to bad actors. This is why I believe using untrusted self generated certificates is a bad practice.
