How to fix this error?

If you need an official SSL certificate, you send it to an official certificate authority (CA). They use the CSR to generate an official certificate. We, however, will use this request to generate a certificate ourselves, a self-signed certificate.
If you want to turn on SSL/TLS trust for that certificate, go to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. Under "Enable full trust for root certificates," turn on trust for the certificate.
Its not an error its a warning, the certificate you generated is not trusted by the browser.
To supress this on machines you control you can add the certificate to the trusted root CA store (Example).
If this machine is on the internet/accessed by machines you do not control, you cannot alter this behaviour unless you purchase a cert from a trusted issuing CA.
