HTTPS - Connection is not secure

[Kristi2k]

I have HTTPS running on a bunch of my internal systems, those systems are accessed by IP only. Firefox and other browser complain about "Connection not secure". I understand that the browser can't verify with it being in IP address.

My question is, is the actual connection secure? Is the username and PW being sent encrypted?

Bumping... anyone?

As far as I understand the data should be encrypted, but you have no verification that you are connecting to the correct server.

Traffic should be encrypted, but

Chrome/Firefox no longer trust internal certificates.
