In fix this error we need to install Trusted Root CA certificate into IOS. To do this, navigate to UI of Web Safety and download the certificate.

You will be presented with the following screen asking you to confirm installation of a new profile. Click install and then provide you access code to confirm changing the system settings.

Review information about the certificate being installed and again click Install . Please note the certificate will still be NOT TRUSTED (see this Apple docs link for more information - https://support.apple.com/en-nz/HT204477).

Connections to HTTPS sites should work smoothly and not trigger any certificate warnings.

If you ever need to remove the trusted certificate open Settings / Profiles and remove the required profile.
