How to accept a SSL certificate using selenium?

Question

Thanks for your help in advance.... So I am testing an application and when I try to visit the url using chromedriver, the application prompts me to accept the SSL certificate(Security reasons). Is there a way to click ok on that prompt using selenium, or is there a way to automate that somehow? I know how to handle other prompt but just not able to click ok on that prompt.

Please advice... I am now wondering if this is something that can be automated or is it better for me to bypass and not get prompted for that cert...

I am trying to accept a trusted cert Cert

This should help. (C#)

try
{
   IAlert alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
   alert.Accept();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{}
