Hi,

this error message means that you are about to connect to an
"unexpected" server.

The CAT installation profile pinpoints exactly the server that your
organisation has specified as being the correct one.

Your device refuses to send your username and password to a server it
doesn't trust. This is a security feature.

As to why the server isn't trusted we can only speculate here. Maybe you
were really about to be attacked by a rogue network trying to grab your
credentials, or maybe the server information meanwhile changed
intentionally by your IT administrators while your device still has the
old info; or maybe their server identification is using old security
standards which iOS finds unacceptable.

It is best to contact your own home organisation's IT department/helpdesk.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
