Orygun Duck Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Why is my computer warning me against accessing this website. It says that the website's certificate is expired or invalid. Is something being done to fix this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I had the warning also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 This is, unfortunately, the result of ongoing problems with the security software that is used on the servers. Hard to let anyone know, of course, because if they are unable to get in here, they can't see this, obviously. Again, it has nothing to do with your computers specifically. You might want to pass around, if you can, that Chrome is now the most affected, and newer versions of Firefox, for some reason, are not. Clicking on ADVANCED when faced with the warning allows you to bypass it. Clicking on Advanced in Chrome does not. Chapala Mod knows and is working on it.

gringal Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Part of the message stated that the Security Certificate had expired on the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 When a computer gets a Security Certificate warning, it is most often because the date the computer is using, and/or the time, is incorrectly set. This may have some relation to the servers, but I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 If you run your site as secure (HTTPS), the owner of site have to get a security certificate. Certificate do expire. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/website-security-certificate-care/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 The servers are cared for by outside security and other providers, and Coldwell pays for them, so it is up to them to keep the certificates in order... which is usually very automatic. Just like on our own computers. But the software updates from both places are seemingly in conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I was able to bypass the message with both Chrome and Firefox. The difference I see is I had to bypass the message for every page in Chrome. Where as with Firefox, you can make an exception one time to the message. Something to be said about unsure (http) sites when they don't need to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes I had the warning problem yesterday. But I could enter. Luckily today there is no longer this warning and everything is OK. I use Edge and /or Internet explorer on the laptop I have with me on my annual Sept. visit up north.

Tiny Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Working Ok. No more need for Firefox, well at least until the next time. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
