Security Certificate invalid?

[villanelle]

When I go to the site, I get a notice that the security certificate is invalid, and then a message the says something about theshell. com

Is this a site issue, or do I maybe have something nasty on my computer?

Any chance you could screenshot the error, or could post the verbatim language from the error screen?

Theshell is the server. Will check but I think the security certificate expired. Need to update it.

I got a similar error a couple weeks ago, but it hasn't reoccurred and seemed to be a one time thing.

Okay the fact that TheShell is the server makes me feel much better. My mother warned me about the possibility of catching a viruses from Naval Aviators, but I don't think this is what she meant.

The message about the security certificate--the one that mentions theshell--only happens sporadically. The rest of the time I get, "Safari can't open the page [address] because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "www.airwarriors.com"."

If it happens again, please also post the URI that's in your address bar--this shouldn't be happening.

I'm having the same problem intermittently.

I was consistently seeing that warning from an NMCI machine. But now I can't even access the site from NMCI.

It happens with www. airwarriors.com, or w.airwarriors.com/community, or even occasionally once I am on the site and trying to navigate around, like going to the next page of the thread, or opening a new thread, or whatever. I just copied my address bar with the address from this post (https://www.airwarriors.com/communi...curity-certificate-invalid.43942/#post-842510) and pasted that in the address bar of a new tab, and I got the "Failure to Open Page" message, "... because Safari can't establish a secure connection to www.airwarriors.com."

Check to make sure the address you're using is http... Not https.
You probably have it as https, hence the warning.

 

[villanelle]

You win! It is in fact going to S. Any idea how I stop that? I just tried actually typing in the http:// and the address, and it reverted to https.

From a different thread on the Mod side where I asked the same thing:

@Machine figured it out, I guess something changes with IE. If you disable TLS 1.2 in IE under advanced security settings it will load.

This solved the issue for me at work.

Sweet jebus, IE. Everyone else gets TLS right, why can't you?

(TLS 1.0 is vulnerable to attack, for those of you with TLS 1.1 and 1.2 permanently turned off.)

FYI: I have it setup that everything redirects to https://

Been researching some of this, and it might require me to upgrade to the latest Xenforo version, I am using 1.5, and its currently on 1.56 I believe. Sounds like a project for me tomorrow.

Sorry for the slow response, been on the road flying most of the last week, and I don't usually lug my laptop around (need to invest in a smaller one, I have a beast that weighs too much and is too old, Dell XPS 15)... but I digress.
