Currently if you configure VizAlerts to use encryption to connect to your Tableau Server instance (which is highly recommended), if for some reason your certificate isn't recognized as valid, the application will error and you will not be able to use VizAlerts. The workaround of switching to unencrypted requests is not ideal.

Instead, a new configuration line should be added which allows the administrator to disable cert checking, as in some cases the certificate may be valid / trustworthy, but technical issues can prevent it from being recognized as such.

(The same option should probably be added for SMTP server cert checking as well, but I haven't given that much thought yet)
