Security Errors

November 6th, 2021
Hi all, hoping someone can help:
I use Apple Mac running Yosemite. Everything is up to date yet 365 insists on telling me that my connection is not private.
This is the only web site that it’s happening on, on both Chrome and Safari browsers.
Every time I try to visit and post I get :

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

I’ve done everything I can - everything is up to date, the clock and date is correct, cookies deleted etc etc.

Makes it extremely difficult to post images, which is why I haven’t.

There are two addresses http://365project.org
and https://365project.org

The former comes up as not secure on my iMac. Is that the cause ???

@markp Neither one works - thanks though! It’s just incredibly frustrating!

@graemestevens I had this problem too - same deal on my iMac. Turns out the servers aren't supporting El Capitan anymore but Ross has a work around for it.

@graemestevens Glad I could help. Email Ross and I'm sure he will kindly tell you what to do. =)

I used to have this issue when I used the wifi at McDonald's (when my own internet was not working). The resolution involved some sort of issue with logging on to the wifi, but I don't actually remember. My own internet is not reliable, but I rarely have to resort to going to McDonald's anymore.

@graemestevens:
Looks like the certificate paths for 'letsencrypt' certs have recently swapped to a new root certificate, and the old root certificate (DST Root CA X3) expired September 30th, 2021.

Most machines will already have the new root certificate (ISRG Root X1) installed, but you can install it manually and fix the errors. See this website for instructions: https://macresearch.org/dst-root-ca-x3-expired-mac/

Good luck.

@francoise I haven’t been inside a McD’s in over 15 years!
@sudweeks Thanks - I’ll give that a try and see what blows up!
November 7th, 2021
@sudweeks That seems to have worked...thank you so much!
November 7th, 2021
@marlboromaam Ross will be only person here brave enough to tell Graeme 'what to do'!!
November 7th, 2021
@graemestevens glad you're going to back !
November 7th, 2021
@graemestevens Ha ha! I know it sounds too easy, but I've solved a lot of my own computer problems that way. Sorry it didn't work for you. I hope you get it resolved soon because I miss your posts! :)

@graemestevens glad to hear you're fixed up. My unhelpful point about McDonald's was merely that the solution lay in my own computer's internet connection settings

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @marlboromaam But there's been plenty of you tell me where to go! ;)

@graemestevens Ha ha! Only suggestions.

Hi @graemestevens -Yosemite and older are no longer supported by the provider of our SSL certificates. There's a bunch of articles that explain the situation... https://eclecticlight.co/2021/09/21/el-capitan-and-older-mac-os-x-are-about-to-have-a-security-certificate-problem/

I had one other member reach out to me with the same issue and the following worked for them... https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/os-x-10-11-clients-not-connecting-to-site-with-lets-encrypt-certificates/161576/11
