This is a continuation of Issue 116 that was for FirefoxDriver.

Currently the IEDriver doesnt handle unsigned certs.

Found a valid work around: 

   Manually accept the cert and continue to the website. Then, click on the red shield
with the x and hit view certificates. From there, go to the certification path tab.
You will be able to see that some of the certs have x's in them; click on them and
install the cert into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

The above workaround doesn't work for me because I cannot edit trusted root certificates
on my machine, and I also do not want to have to do so on every developers machine
who wants to run tests.

I've found this is a better workaround that doesn't require editing browser settings
-

driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");

Or the more complete version -

if("Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked".equals(driver.getTitle())) {
driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");
}
