Cause

This error can occur in an on-premises environment if the certificate for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website or federation server, such as ADFS, is not trusted.

This error can occur with an online organization if your organization is federated with Office 365 and the certificate for your federation server, such as ADFS, is not trusted.

Resolution

Make sure the SSL certificate used is trusted by using a publicly trusted certificate or add the Certificate Authority certificate for the certificate of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website and the federation server to the device.

Adding the Certificate Authority certificate to the proper device will require you to export the Certificate Authority certificate from a device that has it and then import it. In most cases, you can simply get the exported certificate on the device and open it to install/import it.
