Certificate error with self signed test certficiate

When I go to my test instance via IE I get "Invalid Certificate - Certificate cannot be trusted up to a valid Certificate Authority".
I've followed all steps I believe are necessary and there are no errors in the logs. These were my steps:
java -cp weblogic.jar utils.CertGen maximo mycert mykey -cn mytest.local// convert CertGenCA cert to PEM format
java utils.der2pem CertGenCA.der// on windows concatenate my test certificate and CA cert
copy mycert.pem+CertGenCA.pem newcerts.pem// import it
java -cp weblogic.jar utils.ImportPrivateKey mykeystore mypasswd mykey password newcerts.pem mykey.pemI have then updated the weblogic server instance to use mykeystore as the Custom Identity Keystore and Custom Trust Keystore. They import successfully and if I check what's in them I can see both the key and CA certificate.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matt

The issue is that IE does not trust the CA that signed your SSL certificate. If you are trying to eliminate the certificate warning in IE when navigating to your site via HTTPS then you need to add your CA certificate as a trusted authority in IE so that IE can validate the chain of trust that built your self-signed cert. You can import your CA cert into the IE trusted list by simply putting the CA cert on your desktop and double clicking it. This will launch a window allowing you to install the certificate. You will need to restart IE after you have successfully installed your CA cert. Don't forget to install any intermediate certs as well (if you happened to create any)

E-Mail Setup fails with self-signed SSL certificat...

Hi, one of my e-mails is with a small provider who just moved the mail server to Imap and SSL. In Thunderbird, everything works fine, setup on my Nokia C-6-fails with an unspecific error message (and trows away the settings). I asked the provider, and it seems that the problem comes up because the Nokia e-mail application doesn't asked me if I want to accept the certificate but instead rejects it. Is there a workaround to this problem? Is there a way to setup the mail account without using the wizard? Or to take over the settings from Thunderbird? Or a way to put the certificate in the right place manually? In Opera mobile I have no trouble with self-signed SSL certificates. Thanks Cave

Any one around who can help? Self-Signed certificates are rather common, after all. I would be grateful cave

Anyone having issues with Self-Signed SSL-certs on mail servers?

Can't get it to allow connecting via SSL to outgoing mail servers with self-signed certificates. Problem did not exist in earlier versions of OSX as far as I know.

YES. I have a cert from lunarpages, where my accounts are hosted. I'm seeing two issues, and they are different for the different servers at lunarpages:
1. Multiple logins from different machines --> problem
2. Multiple accounts accessing same server --> problem
So, with 1 account on one of lunarpages machines, I can have several machines running Mail with ssl on at the same time and get no problem (that is, once I've saved the certificate and marked it trusted). But as soon as another account (my wife's email on the same domain, for example) tries to access the same server, it gives me an ssl error, a choice to save that cert. and if I do then my account will generate the ssl error. Seems like only one account can have the certificate.
On another account on a different lunarpages machine, I can't have several machines running Mail at the same time, only the first will get through and the rest will give an SSL error.
Lunarpages says they can't find a problem, though my last email with them told me to use TLS rather than SSL. Of course, there's no way to specify that in Mail anyway, but I'd thought Mail automatically used TLS anyway, and I'm running the right ports (587 for smtp, 993 for incoming).
Feels like it's an issue with Mail or the OS's handling of certificates. Any clues on a fix will be most appreciated as this is getting annoying. I've had to turn off SSL on my wife's and daughter's accounts just so that I can use it. And I have to quit Mail so that on the other account I can get my mail on my iPhone. Having to quit Mail on my main work machine is frustrating -- if I forget to do it I can't get mail.

ASA5505 IPSEC only with Self-Signed certs

Hello all,
I have limited Cisco training and have been tasked with a pilot project. We have scavenged the ASA from another department, but I have no access to support. It's running ASA v9.1 and ASDM 7.1 . If all goes well I'll be sent on training and we will be purchasing a nice 5520.
So I've scoured the internet for an easy guide to do as my tittle says, but am having major difficulties. I can find lots of support for SSL VPN with Self-signed or IPSEC VPN with externally signed certs but I can't get ASA self-signed IPSEC IKEv2 only with certificate authentication. Also, to make it even worse, I need to provide the user with the software, profile and certificate by hand. No web-access portal or download.
If you know where I can get good setup guide for this type of use please by all means save me here . If this isn't even possible I'm cool with that, just let me know.
Thanks fo any help you can provide
Jay

If the ASA is using a certificate issued by a CA that is in the client's trusted root CA store, then the ASA identity certificate does not need to be imported by the client.
That's why it's generally recommend to go the route of using a well-know public CA as they are alreay included in most modern browsers and thus the client doesn't need to know how to import certificates etc.
If you are using a local CA that is not in the client's trusted root CA store to issue your ASA identity certificate or self-signing certificates on the ASA then you need to take additional steps at the client.
In the first case, you would import the root CA certificate in the trusted root CA store of the client. After that, any certificates it has issued (i.e the ASA's identity certificate) would automatically be trusted by the client.
In the second case, the ASA's identity certificate itself would have be installed on the client since it (the ASA) is essentially acting as it's own root CA. I usually install them in my client's Trusted Root CA store but I guess that's technically not required, as long as the client knows to trust that certificate.

Issue with self-signed Extensions

I am packaging my extension with self signed cert that is created with the ZXPSignCmd executable.
It functions correctly and the -verify command confirms the ZXP is good to go.
When a user install the extension, however, it only functions once the first time they open Illustrator after installing it. Every time after that, when Illustrator is opened, the panel is completely blank.
This issue can be resolved by enabling PlayerDebugMode on the end-user's .plist file (as outlined for developers in the blog) but obviously this is something I do not want the end user doing. Does anyone have insight as to why the extension panel only loads once, and then breaks? Enabling PlayerDebugMode addresses the issue, but I can't figure out why. I assume is has something to do with the the way it is signed, but I would like confirmation/clarification if anyone knows what is going on.

Ok, I've validated my html and I'm getting a few errors related to Angular. They're all one of two types of errors
Error 1:
<div ng-controller="ExampleController">
Gets the following error:
Attribute ng-controller not allowed on element div at this point.
Error 2:
<my-directive></my-directive>
Gets the following error:
Element my-directive not allowed as child of element div in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
Error 1 is for any Angular related thing...ng-click, ng-controller, ng-show, etc.
Error 2 appears where all my custom directives are.
I did a comparison between the not-working extension and a working one that also uses Angular (without any custom elements). When I validated the working extension, it returned a bunch of Error 1's but no Error 2's (this is expected, seeing as there are no custom elements).
To your question about dynamic HTML - there is none. All of the files are static after they're installed. I double checked this by running a diff-merge between the extension before and after it has been run once. They are exactly the same, so no files are changing.
There are known issues with custom directives in older browsers like IE8 - http://www.befundoo.com/blog/angularjs-directives-in-ie8/
Out of curiosity, I tried adding elements in the head, as described in the above blog, inside my extension. This did not have any effect, and the extension still fails.
I'm considering rewriting my directives as attributes instead of elements, and seeing if that does it. That would take some time though, so if the above info helps narrow down the problem or raises other questions of yours, I'm all ears! Thanks again for all the replies!

Hello,
Can you please confirm what the issue is? Are you not able to setup a SSL connection to the internal website running on Tomcat. If so, have you tried installing the root CA certificate into Firefox? You can do that by going to Firefox -> Preferences -> Advanced -> View Certificates -> Certificate Authorities and then importing the root CA certificate.
Please check this and let us know if this helps in resolving the connectivity issue. Though, I am a bit surprised that the connection is not getting established. Typically, Firefox would warn you if you would like to continue with the connection. Are you not seeing this warning?
Thank you

Problem connecting to HTTPS host with self signed certificate

I have set up a tomcat server with SSL running in a vmware on my machine using a self signed certificate. I can connect to this no problem with a browser from my main machine with the url https://myserver:8443.
However, I am not able to connect with a Java client. I always get the below exception. I read that I need to add it as a trusted certificate in the keystore. I went to the site with firefox and saved the certificate as a .cer file, and imported it into the default keystore at c:\users\louis\.keystore. I still have the same problem. I think the problem is the client is not using the keystore, and I don't know how to make it do so. I tried adding the following argument to the run command:
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=c:\users\louis\.keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit
but it doesn't help.
Here is the exception I'm getting:

I have worked around this problem by configuring the Java client to trust all certificates and disabling hostname verification. That way I don't need a trust store. I'll just have to remove that code in production. Not ideal since I'd rather have certificate/hostname verification working for testing, but it works at least.
I have looked at the Java security documentation and as far as i can tell a keystore and trust store is still basically the same type of file and created the same way with the keytool. The difference is when you import a cert you use the -trustcacerts option. The client 'keystore' is only being used to store the trusted cert, so it essentially is a trust store. This is documented in the keytool doc for the command -importcert.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html
I actually think my problem is more to do with the hostname, since my server doesn't have a real domain hostname like www.myserver.com. I am just using the machine name for the host, although web browsers do not have a problem with this. When I set my java client to trust all certs, I was getting the following error:
java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong
Disabling hostname verification fixed this, so I'm wondering if my cert has the wrong hostname. I originally created the self signed cert using the keytool with the command -genkey, which creates a key pair and also a self signed cert. I looked at the keytool docs, and I don't see any way of specifying the hostname or even seeing what the host name of a cert is. What does it put as the hostname by default? The IP address or machine name, or am I understanding this wrong?

Safari could not establish secure connection to my localhost with self signed certificate

was using maven+grizzly+jersey to start my own server. I created self signed certificate so that my server can support https. I case you are curious, following is how I generated my certificate
I was testing this on my iMac (Running Mavericks) Now, I added the server.cert to the system keychain so that all users can trust this certificate. Also, I change the trust level to "Always Trust".
I get this work in Chrome and Firefox. They asked me to add exception for this certificate, I did and then everything goes fine. However, I have never make Safari(7.0) happy. I always get the error saying that Safari cannot establish secure connection to my localhost.
Does anyone have any idea why it happened? Or is there better way to debug this problem so that I will be able to tell at which step things goes wrong.
Thank you in advance. I really appreciated it.

Any help much appreciated!

Https in midlet with self-signed certificate

Hi all,
I want to make https connections from a midlet to a server, but as I'm still at a development stage, I don�t have a CA-signed certificate, so I'm using a self-signed one. I've read in http://developers.sun.com/mobility/midp/articles/https/ about adding certificates to the J2ME toolkit keystore, so theorically (I've not tried it) I could test my application through an emulator. But what I really want to test is my midlet in a real mobile phone. Does anybody know how could I establish a https connection between a mobile phone and the server, not having a CA-signed certificate? Is requesting a certificate from Verisign, Thawte, etc the only way to test my application? I suppose there would have been many people with the same problem.
Thanks a lot

Issue with Self Signed Certificate Web Sites

I tried searching, but wasn't really getting the answer or help I needed so I figured I would just start a new topic. At my work we have a test server that we use for development and we have a couple of Web Services on there that use Self Signed Certificates. At work, I have a PC (Windows 7) and a Mac Mini (OS X) both of which can connect to the Web Services just fine. But at home, I can't access any of the Web Services at all, my browsers and Xcode keep timing out. I know the Web Service is public, I've accessed it before from other machines outside of work it's just at home I can't. I have an iMac at home, with a linksys router and I don't know if it's a setting on my home computer or network that could be causing it but I don't even get the message in Safari, Chrome or Firefox that the site has a self signed or bad certificate so I know something isn't letting me communicate. Any help would be great (all of the answers I have found suggested to purchase a certificate, which in this case isn't appropriate since they are used for Development until we feel they are ready for production in which case we purchase the certificate). Thanks.

new information:
I tried an other lumia800, the https page worked.
The difference of the two phone was only the language
My phone language was english (US), the other was hungarian.
After that, I switched my phone language settings to hungarian, and tada... the self signed https page worked.
I switched back to english(US) and stopped working.
than I tried english(GB) and worked again.
I did not try other languages, but it looks, if I use english-US language, I cannot see any invalid certificated page
In other language settings, there is no problem.

SendSynchronousRequest with self signed certificate

Hi
Due to the application design I cannot use the – initWithRequest:delegate: method of NSURLConnection class for my https requests to a server. Hence I have to make synchronous calls using sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error.
When I was using initWithRequest , it was taking a class delegate of NSURLConnectionDelegate class hence I handled the self signed certificate problem by the following code:-
- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace {
    return [protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust];
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {
    [challenge.sender useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
    [challenge.sender continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
Now the problem is that sendSynchronousRequest does not take any delegates to be called on. So now how do I handle non trusted certificate problem using synchronous request.
I searched but so far can't find any solution.

Hi 2UCowpoke,
According to your description and the error messages ,it seems that the self-signed certificate is not trusted or supported by Windows 7 machine .
How did you get the certificate ?
It is recommended to ask for help from the certificate issuer support .
Here is a link for reference :
Windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate.

Problems with Self Signed Certificate

I have installed a self-signed client certificate on my Windows 7 workstation. (64 bit Professional)
The project is to use VPN/IKEv2 to connect my windows 7 workstation to a Linux 7 server. (using machine certificates)
To that end I generated a self-signed certificate and exported the client certificate to my windows 7 workstation.
I used the certmgr to install the certificate in the CA Trusted Store.
However when I try to connect the workstation to the server via a vpn session I get the 13806 error.
Upon reviewing the installed certificate I noted these two messages:
Windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate
The issuer of this certificate could not be found.
So my question is how do I "tell' my windows 7 system to go ahead and accept the certificate and/or somehow tell the
the system the issuer of the certificate should be trusted.
Thanks
Guy

Mail App Not Working with Self-Signed Certificates

First and foremost, I apologise for starting another thread that is 90% similar to others but I wanted to avoid falling into an existing context. Like may others, I am having issues with the Mail App in Mavericks but I have an email account other than G-Mail.
That being said, here is the issue I am having. Until recently I never had an issue sending and receiving email from various accounted. My Internet provider, an Exchange account, even a G-Mail account.
Yesterday, my Web hosting provider issued a new (self-signed) certificate as the old one had expired (which was also a self-signed certificate). While I am able to still receive messages, I am no longer able to send any.
I have tried numberous possible solutions to no avail. I have removed and readded my email account, I have refreshed my SMTP settings, I have removed all semblence of the account from my Key Chain, added the Certificate manually with full trust, and I have even flushed the caches from my ~/Library/ folder. The last one perked up the Mail App but did not restore my ability to send messages from my Web provider's SMTP server.
I suspect this is a bug in the Mail App but I'm hoping I can find a few last solutions before I file a bug report.
In the meantime, I am using another outgoing server from my Internet provider. It will do but for consistency I'd much rather use the outgoing server that came with the email account in question.
I am all but convinced it is the Mail App as Thunderbird is able to use the SMTP server just fine and I am still able to send messages using the exact same settings on my iPhone and iPad.
In case it helps, I am using a Early 2011 MacBook Pro with the latest Mavericks update (which ironically was meant to solve some issues other users had with the Mail App).
On a related note, I wish I had stayed on Snow Leopard. I did not have a single issue with that OS. Now I feel like I am working on Windows Vista again and I am waiting for the Apple version of Windows 7 to set things right.

I am using an iPhone 6 plus on iOS 8.1 and suddenly my Yahoo email account will not populate to my Mail app. I have deleted and re-added the account and also re-booted the phone with no luck. I get the spinning wheel up by my Wi-Fi signal that suggests it's attempting to do something, but the bottom of the Inbox only says "Updated Yesterday." Has anyone else experienced this or can someone, especially an Apple employee, tell me how to fix this?
There is no Apple in this user to user technical forum, if you want an Apple employee you would need to take your phone to the Apple store.
What happens when you switch to using cellular data? Does your email update?
FYI - Yahoo email account is notoriously bad, you can try their app.

Two way ssl with self signed certificate?

How can I use a self signed certificate with two-way SSL with weblogic 7sp4?
Specfically, I don't want to use any CA authority.
Is it possible to simply have the clients certificate in the servers truststore or not?
I pull out the certificate via
javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate
but when I use a self signed certificate it's never there.
If I instead use a certificate that was created with CertGen it works. But CertGen uses the GenCertCA to create the certificate chain.
