PFFlier Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Has anyone had a hard time getting to this site because of "Not secure" warning? I'm using Chrome. It was fine until last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Yeah, I got it too, on Safari. It's happened before, I think it's an expired security cert or something. I imagine Redpath will sort it out when he gets a minute. It's annoying how protective browsers get about that sort of thing (mine made me enter my admin password to get in!) but they're probably assuming we're about to send our bank info to North Korean hackers or something. I had to partially lobotomize Microsoft Entourage a while back to open an attachment it didn't like. Some weird obscure file format. I knew who it was from, and I knew it was fine, but try telling Microsoft that. I found the file with the list of blocked file types, removed them, opened the damn attachment, and felt like a hacker for about five minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFFlier Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Well, I'm glad it's not not just me. I finally got through by clicking on advanced then at the bottom it gave me a choice to proceed anyway. Even though I have added the website to the "allow list" it still blocks it. Your comment gives me more patience to wait it out for an admin fix. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strato_54 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It's the certifacation that makes web broswers know the site is considered safe. It expired at 3:59 yesterday and at 4:30 I got the message after not getting it that morning. Not a huge deal otherwise, just gonna be annoying for a bit.

adamzan Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Yeah, the ssl cert for the site is expired. I'll PM Redpath about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Renewed! Thanks for the heads up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Went to renew it and found that it auto-renewed 2 days ago. This is it was it supposed to do before, so hopefully on Mar 23/24 this won't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 And once again we are back to the not-really auto auto-renewal... SSL has been renewed and restored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dealt with certs in my last line of work and there was nothing more annoying than a cert not getting renewed. For the most part, it was my IT guys getting the renewed cert beforehand and just not swapping it out. Difference there is they were 2-year certs, so an outage always caught us way off-guard. An expired cert was a total blocker in my line of work, and I could spend hours retrieving and processing missed data as a result once restored, not to mention damage control with multiple clients simultaneously. Absolutely sucked. That said, what's with the 3-month certs? Is there another cert authority that the host accepts that last longer, or is that just the CA of choice for the domain host? Guessing in a perfect world, the 3-month cert isn't a problem if auto-renewal occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3mo cert is a newer feature included with the backend database management software and is free, so I can't really complain to much. I just need to set a reminder a few days in advance, since the "auto" part of it is clearly not. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 We should be able to use something like certbot to automate the lets encrypt renewals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
