Support for Internet Explorer ended on June 15, 2022
Internet Explorer 11 has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10.If any site you visit needs Internet Explorer 11, you can reload it with Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge. We recommend you use Microsoft Edge for a faster, more secure and more modern web browsing experience.
A user who tries to connect to a secured Web site by using Windows Internet Explorer may receive the following warning message:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the server. We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this Web site.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, an organization that hosts the secure Web site can purchase a certificate for each Web server from a third-party provider. Or, the organization can install a Microsoft Enterprise certification authority in the Active Directory forest. Then, the organization can use this certification authority to generate a certificate for each Web server.
Note Users of client computers that do not belong to the organization's Active Directory forest can visit the certification authority Web site to download the certificate.
Workaround
To work around this issue, install the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Windows SBS) self-signed certificate on the client computer. To do this, follow these steps:
In Windows Internet Explorer, click Continue to this website (not recommended).
A red Address Bar and a certificate warning appear.
Click the Certificate Error button to open the information window.
Click View Certificates, and then click Install Certificate.
On the warning message that appears, click Yes to install the certificate.
Notes
In Windows Vista, the same issue occurs with self-signed certificates. However, the option to install certificates is not available unless you run Windows Internet Explorer with administrator rights. To do this, right-click the Internet Explorer icon, and then select Run as Administrator.
When the client computer connects to a Web server that is running Windows Server 2003, the client computer reuses the certification authority certificate. The client computer does not use another certificate that is signed by the certification authority.
More Information
This problem can occur if the client computer's clock is set so that the date/time is later than the expiry date of the web server's SSL certificate.
For more information about the website's security certificate issue, visit the following Microsoft Websites:
This error indicates that the SSL certificate is signed or approved by a company that the browser does not trust. That means either the company, known as the certificate authority (CA), is not on the browser's built-in list of trusted certificate providers or that the certificate was issued by the server itself.
Press Windows Key + R Key together, type certmgr. msc, and hit enter. You will get a new window with the list of Certificates installed on your computer. Locate the certificate you want to delete and then click on the Action button then, click on Delete.
A Certificate Mismatch error can occur for a number of reasons : The website was accessed via an IP address or an internal host name, but the certificate was only issued to the public facing fully qualified domain name. The certificate was issued to example.com, but the website was reached via www.example.com.
It could be because a certificate has been damaged, tampered with, written in an unknown format, or is unreadable. You shouldn't trust the identity of the site if a certificate has this error.
For an SSL certificate to be valid, domains need to obtain it from a certificate authority (CA). A CA is an outside organization, a trusted third party, that generates and gives out SSL certificates. The CA will also digitally sign the certificate with their own private key, allowing client devices to verify it.
Using an expired certificate makes clients vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can break their trust. Therefore, it is not recommended to use an expired certificate. A website would not last long with an expired one.
Alternatively, you can bypass the invalid certificate error by enabling insecure site access in Chrome: Type chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost into the address bar. Change the Enable setting to Enabled. Relaunch Chrome for the change to take effect.
This often means that the security certificate was obtained or used fraudulently by the website. This website's address doesn't match the address in the security certificate. A website is using a certificate that was issued to a different web address.
If you totally trust the site you are visiting (local printer or internal network equipment), just type thisisunsafe on the keyboard, and Chrome will bypass the certificate security check for this site.
